Question 1

Correct Answer:

Verified

A) During adolescence, teenagers go through puberty and become more tuned to sexual cues as they experience changes in their physical development. Using an attractive actor or actress in the commercial would be highly appealing.
B) Teenagers are especially sensitive to messages delivered by people like them. Portraying traditional high school cliques in the commercial will help teens identify with the actors and product, thus making them more likely to purchase it. A series of commercials may be used to portray the product as being appropriate for a variety of gender and ethnic identities because adolescence is a time when people are particularly cued to social/peer group/identity information.
