Question

You are overwhelmed by the never-ending sea of colorful pet food packages.some bags claim that they're organic or natural, but what does that mean? and then there are the stacks of canned food, boasting loudly of their superior contents.
what is the effect of the word choice in this excerpt?

a. the author uses descriptive language and questioning to advance the viewpoint that pet food manufacturers strive to provide complete information for consumers

b. the author uses exaggeration in personification to introduce the viewpoint that many pet food manufacturers are more interested in cells dividing factual information to consumers.

c. the author creates a frustrated tone by accusing pet food manufacturers of intentionally confusing customers.

d. the author develops an tone by highlighting the wealth of nutritional options available to consumers.

Answer 1

Word choice is used to get a point across.  So if you look a choice A, the author definitely does not feel that the manufacturers are striving to provide COMPLETE information (or there wouldn't be the questions).  I would say the same thing for D, making that an incorrect answer.  Looking at B and C, the author does use exaggeration in personification, but he doesn't mention sales.  He does however set a frustrated tone and touches on confusion of the customers, so I feel that C is the best answer here.
