Answer 1

A strong critical thinker would be wise to treat all campaign ads as persuasive.

Step-by-step explanation:

A strong critical thinker would be wise to treat all campaign ads as persuasive.

Campaign ads are designed to convince and influence voters, often through emotionally charged or negative claims about candidates or propositions.

However, it is important to approach these ads with a critical mindset, questioning the information presented and considering the motives behind them.

By recognizing that campaign ads are meant to persuade rather than solely provide objective information, a strong critical thinker can make informed decisions based on a variety of sources and perspectives.

Answer 2

Unreliable. Campaigners don't necessarily show their true colors during campaigns. They like to put on a show to get attention. They also make claims that seem like they care about the good of the nation, but that could actually hurt the economy or the country as a whole. But they could also be in favor of policies that are good for the country/economy, but could anger people because those policies appear to hurt a group/groups of people.
