Question

Why is it important to carefully evaluate promotional claims?

Answer 1

b. companies always carefully test any claims that they make about a product

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is c. it can be difficult to verify how promotional claims are tested.

Explanation:

Letter A is incorrect because saying that all products are good would mean that they always help the consumer in any way.

B is also incorrect because the claims are not always tested; the claims are sometimes used because they sound well or because they sound convincing.

Option D is also incorrect because it is not possible to know if an independent laboratory tested the claim.

The correct answer is letter C because the companies almost never share the methods they use to test their claims, making difficult to verify what they say.
