Survival Terms Paper 1 Practice Test

Which term is used when a famous person endorses a product or idea to persuade an audience?

Testimonial Stereotyping Symbol/symbolism Splash

Correct Answer:

Testimonial

Explanation:

Endorsement by a well-known person to persuade an audience relies on transferring the credibility of the individual to the product or idea. This is called a testimonial. When a celebrity or expert speaks on behalf of a product, their authority or fame is used to make others more likely to trust and adopt it. The other terms describe different concepts: stereotyping involves applying broad assumptions about people or groups, symbol or symbolism refers to using images or signs to convey meaning, and splash is just a flashy promotional moment. So the term that precisely matches the idea of a famous person endorsing something to influence opinion is testimonial.
