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.

repetition is used to emphasize a feeling or idea, create rhythm, and/or develop a sense of urgency.

i’m writing a memoir and i’ve been given the great suggestion of placing a ‘sub-narrative’ within some of the chapters – sort of, what was going on with me in the grand scheme of things.

i was wondering how to format this so that it is very obvious we are stepping out the of story.

firstly is a change in font from serif to sans workable? i also use dashes for a scene change. was thinking of using a different scene-changer too.

here’s a (shortened) example:

university – or what’s known as ‘uni’ in australia – were some of the best days of my life. where else do you get to potter around in a great location, have very little responsibility, learn lots of things, do lots of things and walk out four years later with a bonus – a degree!

with my university years i had immersed myself into community of intelligent ambitious people. generally everyone had a confidence about themselves. they knew where they were going in life and weren’t threatened by others.
