Question

question 19
julie is a teenager who wants to borrow her mothers car.
which of the following is an example of an appropriate emotional appeal julie could use?
julie could remind her mom that shes getting good grades this semester, which shows she is responsible.
julie could hug her mom and remind her that shes never missed a curfew or been in a car accident.
julie could cry and beg her mom to let her borrow the car.
julie could promise her mom that she will be home by midnight.

Explanation:

An emotional appeal should evoke positive feelings. Hugging (a physical, affectionate gesture) and reminding about past good behavior (never missing curfew/accident - which can make the mom feel more at ease emotionally) is an appropriate emotional approach. Crying and begging is more of a desperate, perhaps manipulative (not positive - emotion) tactic. Reminding about grades (more of a logical - responsibility appeal) and promising a time (more of a logical - plan/responsibility aspect) are less about evoking warm, positive emotions compared to the hugging and past - good - behavior reminder.

Answer:

Julie could hug her mom and remind her that she's never missed a curfew or been in a car accident.
