Answer:

The sentence "Everybody's doing it" applies to the bandwagon persuasion tactic.

Step-by-step explanation:

When someone refers to the bandwagon, it usually means that someone is saying everyone is on the same team about a topic. In advertising, the bandwagon tactic is often used to convince viewers that their product is truly the best and you should buy it since everyone else in society is. This also is what we call a 'fear-of-loss' tactic.

Example: "Come join the party! There will be drinks and music; not to mention 'everyone' will be there. You have to come!"

Answer:

"bandwagon"

Step-by-step explanation:

This tactic applies to "bandwagon". This term refers to the idea that if everyone is doing something you should probably be doing the same as them because they are probably doing it for a reason. Many times the reason used for this tactic in order to exploit an individual's wants is popularity or money. This is why the phrase is "jump on the bandwagon" since it is full of people already doing something and you are jumping in to do the same. Individuals that see this and want the same as everyone else will ultimately jump in and buy the product or service being advertised.
