This is a Method of Reasoning question, and we know this because of the question stem: “The advertisement employs which one of the following argumentative strategies?”
This is an argument by analogy. The ad puts forward the relationship between exercise of physical organs and better performance of muscles and physical organs. The ad then says that because your brain is a physical organ, taking action it could improve its performance. From that, the ad concludes that we should subscribe to Stimulus and take action by reading. This isn’t a great argument, but our job is to describe what’s happening, not access its strength or validity.
Answer Choice (A) The ad beings with “anyone who exercises knows...” That’s not experimental evidence.
Answer Choice (B) The ad does not ridicule; it’s trying to incentivize people.
Answer Choice (C) This is describing the last part of the last sentence: Stimulus will exercise the brain. However, we’re not describing a sentence in the argument, we have to describe the whole argument.
Answer Choice (D) “Careful analysis” is certainly not what this ad is doing when it comes to exploring what exercise is.
Correct Answer Choice (E) This is perfectly describing what an argument by analogy is: A and B are similar in one way; therefore they are both similar in another way.
