III. 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 adm it 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 butalso confuses our sense of
reality.
Advertisers use many methods to get us to buy theirproducts. 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 ofanother. Psychologists
have found that certain colors on the package of anattractive 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 thinkthey make wise choices.
Unfortunately, they probably do not realize the powerful effect of
advertising. Every year, advertisers spend billionsof dollars inaggressive
competition for consumers money and they are very successful.

A. always tells consumers about the truthof the products
