VIII. Read and choose the best answer:
Nowadays many products are nearly identical to one another in quality and price. If
products are almost the same, what makes consumers buy one brand instead of another?
Although we may not like to admit it, commercials on television and advertisements in
newspapers and manaziges probably influence us much more than we think they do.
Advertising informs consumers about new products availalble on the market. It gives us
information about everything. However; there is one problem with this. The "information" is
actually very often misinformation. It tells us the products benefits but hide their
disadvantages. Advertising not only leads us to buy things that we do not need or cannot
afford but also confuses our sense of reality.


Advertisers use many methods to get us to buy their products. One of their most
successful methods is to make us feel dissatisfied with ourselves and our imperfect lives.
They get psychologists to study the way consumers think and their reasons for choosing
one brand instead of another. Psychologists have found that certain colors on the package
of an attractive product will cause people to reach out and take that package instead of
buying an identical product with different colors. Also, certain words attract our attention.
For example, the words "new", "improved", "natural", and "giant size" are very popular
and seem to draw our eyes and hands toward the package.
Many consumers believe that advertising does not affect them. They feel that they have
freedom of choice, and they like to think they make wise choices. Unfortunately, they
probably do not realize the powerful effect of advertising. Every year, advertisers spend
billions of dollars inaggressive competition for consumers money and they are very
successful.

A. always tells consumers about the truth of the products
