What is the implied message in this example? Car Ad: A pretty and stylish young woman holds on tightly to a car's steering wheel. She asks shyly, "Is this car easy to drive?" The announcer says, "Yes! The new GMP Mini-automatic is the easiest car available to drive. It practically drives itself! No thinking required!" GMP Mini-automatic — it almost drives itself! A. Women should drive the GMP. B. The GMP Mini-automatic is easy to drive. C. The GMP Mini-automatic is a safe car. D. Women are not good drivers.

Pretty sure it's a very sexist ad implying that women are not good drivers. But, my actual answer I would put that the ad itself is trying to put across the message that the GMP Mini-automatic is easy to drive. B
