Which trait is not a desirable quality in a primary care physician?
wolverine [178]
3. PRESUMPTUOUS.

Being interactive is definitely something a person would look for in a physician, because being interactive helps to reach out the person looking for help. Being courteous is being polite, and being polite and nice is a must. Empathetic means being able to reach out and relate to a personal thing, to be able to understand on a deep, emotional level, and that's definitely a valuable trait in physicians.

However, being presumptuous is being considered a know-it-all, jumping to conclusions and crossing the limits, and this definitely isn't a desirable quality in physicians.

Which way of advertising allows advertisers to best control who they are advertising to?
romanna [79]

There are many ways a company or advertiser is able to control who their target audience is. First they want something effective, like the Tootsie pop commercial, that ranges to everyone, the bright colors and characters were something to pull in the attention of a younger audience, children. But at the same time humor is used to catch everyone.

Depending on your audience, this can range from colors, sounds, characters, and so on. A main way for advertising a younger audience is of course color, and is usually TV advertised.  Something for older audience like adults, and elders would be TV, radio, and even the papers, or even flyers in this case.

Other ways to advertise would be public speeches/demonstrations, events, online ads, social media, and so on
