Respuesta :

The answer to this question is B.

Answer:

The excerpt from Make a Difference This Weekend by Greg Tucker that demonstrates the use of the bandwagon technique is the first one. The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

The Bandwagon technique is one of the many techniques used in propaganda to convince the audience to do something. In this case, the objective of the propaganda is that people join volunteer service. This technique consists on trying to encourage people by saying that everyone else is doing it, so it would be silly not to do it too. It is like "Everyone else is joining, so don't miss it out!" kind of thing.

This happens in the first excerpt when it says that millions will take part in the annual Make a Difference Day, and invites the audience to hurry and join them by finding a project.
