Analyze Purpose and Motives in Media Practice Test

A campaign video for a mayoral candidate shows slow-motion shots of potholes and a worried parent near a crosswalk. Soft, emotional music plays while the candidate says, “Our kids deserve safe streets. I will fix the roads in my first 100 days.” The video ends with: “Vote Jordan Lee on Tuesday.” How do the format choices (imagery, music, and ending message) reveal the purpose and motive?

A social media post by a snack brand shows bold text: “Teachers agree: CrunchBites help students concentrate!” The post shows a tiny note at the bottom: “Survey of 20 teachers at a CrunchBites-sponsored event.” Comments are turned off, and the post links to an online store checkout page. Which detail most strongly suggests the message is designed to persuade rather than purely inform?
