Question

Which propaganda technique is being used in the following statement? “If elected class president I plan to organize a bake sale to raise money for after school activities.”
A. Bandwagon
B. None; this statement is not propaganda.
C. Circular reasoning
D. Assertion

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Circular reasoning

Explanation:

The statement being made would be considered Circular Reasoning. This is because the statement can be divided into two separate statements, a premise, and a conclusion. Also described as a cause and effect. In the statement, the individual is saying that if they become president, then the conclusion will be that they will organize the bake sale. Therefore, if the premise is false and the individual does not become president then the conclusion is false too and they will not organize a bake sale.
