Answer 1

Hint: An advertisement is written to attract the target audience towards a specific event, incident, or item.

Complete answer: As given in the hint, we usually write advertisements to either enquire about something or to present information about something.
In the given question;

1)We know that Raja wants to draft an advertisement in order to purchase a second-hand laptop. Hence, he will draft an advertisement under the category of ‘advertisement of purchase.’

2)Whenever we need to draft an advertisement for a purchase, we need to write about the item that we want to buy and it’s color, shape, size, dimensions, functions and any other physical detail.

3)Next, we need to mention our budget or expected price with important details such as; Bill, invoice number, warranty period, etc.

4)Further, we mention our name and contact number.

Now, let’s examine the given options-

a)Purchase- We draft an advertisement for purchase in the purchase column. So, the given option is included in the advertisement. Hence, it is an incorrect option.

b)Make of laptop- We enquire about the details of the item we want to buy. So, the given option is a crucial point that needs to be mentioned in the advertisement. Hence, it is an incorrect option.

c)Expected price- We mention our budget or expected price beforehand. So, the given option is an important point that needs to be included in the advertisement. Hence, it is an incorrect option.

d)His education qualification- We do not need to mention his education qualification as it is not required in an advertisement for purchase. It is an irrelevant and unnecessary option. Hence, it is the correct option.

The correct answer is Option ‘d’.

Note: You will be able to comprehend the content of your advertisement based on the type of advertisement you are writing.
