PLZ HELP MEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lisabon 2012 [21]
Answer:
c. an advertisement

Explanation:
The passage would most likely be found in an advertisement. This is because of the way it is written. The text includes promotional offers and includes statements that favor the product over all others.

Here are quotes that back my explanation:
• “Why not try one today? The first one is on us!” This is a fine example of a promotional offer.
• “This is the best drink in the whole world!” This quote clearly shows the author of the passage is providing a biased opinion to interest the reader, since their is no such thing as the world best drink.
