Answer:
The correct answer is A
Explanation:
The Testimonial Technique is a form of strategy in advertising that features a famous and or authoritative brand recommending vouching for and recommending a product.
This technique relies on the psychology that the target audience would most likely want to relate to the opinion of the super figures endorsing the product. In cases where music stars or football stars are used, their fans who are already evangelists of the star's brand take in on themselves to explore as well as encourage others to purchase whatever product the starts are endorsing in the advert.
The most authoritative brand or person in the poster are the Star Wars Characters. Star Wars movie was released on May 25, 1977, in the USA. It did so well that it grossed a total of $775 Million in sales and was packaged for presentation to a much bigger and wider audience.
Riding on the popularity of the film and its characters, the Ministry of Health released the advert using the characters to draw the attention as well as influence the decision of parents with regard to immunisation.

Answer:

- Congress had taken away states’ rights by passing the RFRA.
Explanation:
The Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 was passed in light of the Supreme Court upholding an Oregon state decision to deny two American Indian men unemployment benefits for having taken a banned substance which they normally use in their religious events.
Congress passed this bill with only 3 Senators opposing it so that it could prevent such from happening again.
The Supreme Court however ruled the Act as unconstitutional as it claimed that Congress was overexerting its powers by: changing the meaning of the First Amendment, creating a law that was disproportionate to the problems it was fixing and overexerting federal power on states and taking away their rights to manage their affairs in this regard.

Explanation:
In the 1840s, great wooden ships known as clippers began sailing the high seas. These narrow, swift vessels were considered the fastest ships int he world. They sailed from New england ports to the West Indies, Java, China, and India, carrying furs and bringing back tea and silks. They also sailed around the tip of South America, transporting gold seekers from the east coast of America to California. When the Civil War ended, in 1865, steamships - and later, oil-burning ships - took over the work of the clippers. The days of the great wind-drive wooden ships soon came to an end.
Stormalong was first immortalized in "Old Stormalong," a popular sea chantey, or work song, sung by sailors when they weighed anchor or hoisted the sails. In 1930, in his book Here's Audacity, Frank Shay collected and retold the old yarns about Stormalong told by sailors from the old wooden ships. And a few years later, a pamphlet published by C.E. Brown brought together more of the Stormalong tales.
The story of Stormalong has since been retold a number of times. The popularity of the tale is due at least in part to the nostalgic, romantic appeal of the tall, graceful clippers and admiration for tech skill and physical courage of the sailors who piloted them. Since the fossil fuels that have driven our ships for the last hundred years are in finite supply, perhaps it is just a matter of time before the great wind-driven ships return to the sea.
--American Tall Tales, by Mary Pope Osborne, 1991
