Correct Answer: Neither I nor II follows

Explanation

Given data

  • Premise: An advertising slogan praising a product (“Kraft” colours).
  • Conclusion I: Catchy slogans fail to attract.
  • Conclusion II: People like dark colours.

Concept/ApproachAds are persuasive claims; they do not, by themselves, establish general truths about consumer response or color preferences without supporting data.

Step-by-step evaluation• The ad’s existence cannot prove that slogans do not attract customers; indeed it presumes the opposite. I does not follow.• The ad never mentions 'dark' colors or any preference survey. II also does not follow.

Final AnswerNeither I nor II follows.
