6The following appeared in an editorial in a business magazine. Although the sales of Whirlwind video games have declined over the past two years, a recent survey of video-game players suggests that this sales trend is about to be reversed. The survey asked video-game players what features they thought were most important in a video game. According to the survey, players prefer games that provide lifelike graphics, which require the most up-to-date computers. Whirlwind has just introduced several such games with an extensive advertising campaign directed at people 10 to 25 years old, the age-group most likely to play video games. It follows, then, that the sales of Whirlwind video games are likely to increase dramatically in the next few months. 7The following appeared in the editorial section of Monroetowns local newspaper. Mayor Brown was recently re-elected by a clear majority of 52 percent of Monroetowns voters. Her re-election, however, does not show that most people in our town favored Mayor Browns proposal for tax reduction over that of her opponent, Mr. Greene, who proposed raising taxes to improve education. It has been shown that voters nationwide tend to re-elect people already in office, regardless of candidates proposals. In fact, a local survey after the election showed most people in Monroetown disagreed with Mayor Browns proposal. Clearly most people in Monroetown favor improving education and therefore approve of Mr. Greenes proposal despite the fact that they did not vote for him. |
