Read the following text reproduced from neil postman's amusing ourselves to death.
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

B). Postman argues that television commercials do not use language or "tests of truth" to viewers decide whether to buy a product. Instead, they rely on images to create an emotional appeal that influences consumers' decisions.

Explanation:

The second option from the given options is not plagiarised as it paraphrases the ideas presented in the paragraph and acknowledges the author i.e. 'Neil Postman' when it says 'Postman argues.' It restates the meaning of the passage using different words that help in preventing plagiarism. The other options represent Postman's language as well as ideas without paraphrasing and acknowledgment or citation of the source that eventually plagiarizes them. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.
