Question

Which sentence from the passage helps develop the implied main idea that presidential campaign advertisements will continue as long as there are elections?

“In the early 1790s, each presidential campaign would even publish its own newspaper to get more information out to the public.” (paragraph 2)


“The candidates themselves often despair over the idea of being sold 'like breakfast cereal,' as presidential candidate Adlai Stevenson quipped after losing the 1956 election.” (paragraph 1)


“Still, it seems unlikely that anything is going to change.” (paragraph 1)


“Different advertising techniques, such as slogans, played a significant role in early American presidential campaigns.” (paragraph 2)

Answer 1

“Still, it seems unlikely that anything is going to change.” (paragraph 1)

This sentence suggests that despite the candidates' concerns about being marketed like products, there is an expectation that campaign advertising will persist, implying that it will continue as a standard practice in elections.
