Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The naming of the frozen dinner as "Healthy Meal" may activate people's schemas and lead them to make inferences based on schema-consistent information, such as assuming that the meal contains low calories, high nutrients, and is good for one's health. This inference is based on preconceived notions and expectations associated with the label "healthy," and not on persuasive arguments, support arguments, or source credibility. Source derogation, which refers to discrediting the source of the message, is not relevant in this context. Therefore, E is the best choice.
