Answer to Question 1

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: With either the direct or indirect approach, AIDA and similar models do have limitations. AIDA is a unidirectional method that essentially talks at audiences, not with them.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: TRUE
Explanation: The AIDA model is tailor-made for using the indirect approach, allowing you to save your main idea for the action phase. However, it can also work with the direct approach, in which case you use your main idea as an attention-getter, build interest with your argument, create desire with your evidence, and emphasize your main idea in the action phase with the specific action you want your audience to take.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
