Answer to Question 1

Answer: FALSE
Explanation: Because the nature of persuasion is to convince people to change their attitudes, beliefs, or actions, most persuasive messages use the indirect approach.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Correlation occurs when two things happen at the same time, but causation occurs only when one thing is directly connected to or initiated by another thing. Correlation does not always indicate causation, and it is important to maintain the distinction between the two. If you can't isolate the impact of a specific factor, you can't assume that it's the cause of whatever effect you're discussing.
