Vely intelesting!

I copied the quiz and completed it in Word before scrolling down to view others’ answers. I made my choices quickly and tried to pinpoint a brief why, which I’ll include here just to make the process even more potentially embarrassing.

1. B) – Consistent initial caps (or maybe A because guys don’t care about no stinkin’ moisturizer?… or B because women are often the decision-maker?… darn it all, this is no way to begin: I’ll stick with B!)
2. B) – Curiosity factor (+ an “inferiority complex” is something you assign to someone else, not yourself)
3. A) – Curiosity factor (+ awkward phrasing on B)
4. A) – Curiosity factor
5. A) – Curiosity factor
6. B) – Attention grabber
7. B) – Solution-oriented
8. B) – It produces a lower “BS Meter” reading
9. B) – Better eye flow
10. B) – Curiosity factor
11. B) – (But it needs a question mark!)
12. A) – Curiosity factor
13. A) – Leads you in instead of trying to tell the whole story in the headline.
14. B) – Power of the word “you”
15. A) – B is incoherent.
16. A) – Power of “a question”
17. B) – Power of the word “own”
18. B) – Stimulates/Relieves actual pain

19. [1] How to talk to a horse – [4] Free way to start horsing around – [3] How to adopt a horse – [2] free gift if you love horses – [5] Free lessons in horse training

20. A) – It produces a lower “BS Meter” reading

Listing my reasons also provides a good segue to a book/author recommendation for you, Jason…
