Explanation:

Question 12

The term "deceptive" means giving a false or misleading impression. Option a is incorrect as funny has no relation to deception. Option b is the opposite of deceptive. Option d (colorful) is unrelated to the meaning of deceptive. So the correct answer is the one that means misleading.

Advertisers exaggerate product benefits to influence consumers to purchase. Option a (make people laugh) is not the main goal of exaggeration. Option c (inform about dangers) is incorrect as exaggeration is not about danger. Option d (give all facts) is opposite of exaggeration. So the goal is to persuade more to buy.

Media violence can desensitize viewers, making violence seem normal. Option a (always entertains) is wrong as violence isn't always entertaining. Option b (helps understand reality) is incorrect as it distorts reality. Option d (teaches good habits) is wrong. So the correct effect is making violence seem normal.

Answer:

c) It is misleading
