What persuasive technique tries to get people to follow a trend because it is popular?

  1. Testimonial

  2. Bandwagon

  3. Card Stacking

  4. Bias

The correct answer is: Bandwagon

"Bandwagon" is the correct answer because it refers to the persuasive technique of convincing others to follow a trend or do something because it is popular or widely accepted. The other options are incorrect because they refer to different techniques. "Testimonial" is when a famous or respected person endorses a product or idea. "Card stacking" is when only positive information is presented in an argument while ignoring any negative aspects. "Bias" is a personal preference or prejudice for a particular viewpoint. Therefore, "Bandwagon" is the best answer that fits the definition of the given persuasive technique.
