EXPLANATION: This example uses hyperbole, a technique where exaggeration is used to create a strong effect.
Explanation:
Interest groups or pressure groups are composed of organizations or associations of people organized in a formal way, whose central objective is to influence the development of public policies for the benefit of their own interests and causes, through the use of lobbying.
The use of celebrity spokespersons is a common practice of gaining influence, which can be an effective practice if the personality and values of the celebrity in question are compatible with the policies they wish to gain influence from, as a celebrity has the advantage of having popular support for influence.
A shift in thought can be indicated by what is called an em dash. An em dash is used to set of an interruption that is closely relevant to
the sentence but is not grammatically part of it. These set of
interruptions can be found in a list, illustration, restatement, shift
in thought or tone, summary, or dramatic point.
