b) When presenting the problem, specific names of allergens (house dust, pollen), followed by the phrase 'we all know' reminds viewers of their previous encounters with these allergens, resulting in a strong sense of displeasure towards these allergens. 

As the target audience are countries with different seasons, dry air is also pointed out, hoping to achieve a similar effect.

Subsequently, benzene and carbon dioxide were pointed out to be unseen but can till lower air quality, making the viewer feel worried about their air quality.

This is when the fan is introduced as a solution to all the above mentioned problems, with emphasis on the word 'all'. 

After explaining the technologies (ethos by the way, but not relevant), it proceeds to mention its capability of cooling the air in summer, tying up the problem of dehydration. 

Finally, the ad ends of with 'all year', giving the viewer a vision of a pleasant breathing experience all year round and not only during the summer. ]]> 2020-06-02 04:59:33 UTC https://padlet.com/rachel_oh1/201PT/wish/606123035 ariana (1) https://padlet.com/rachel_oh1/201PT/wish/606123222 The main rhetorical appeal of this advert is LOGOS, and a bit of ETHOS.
