Question:

Read the passage and answer the following question:

Manya, a class 7 student, stopped consuming artificially flavoured soft drinks and started to consume more and more fresh fruits and home cooked food. This change in her behaviour came when she came to know that supermodel Kirti has stated in an interview that she would neither consume artificially flavoured food nor endorse any such products. She even appealed to all of her fans to do so. Earlier Manya used to consume all unhealthy products because Kirti endorsed many such products. But now Kirti's change in choice has also led Manya to change her preferences.

Kirti changed her choice of products to be endorsed and consumed.

The product is the _____.

Options:

Object

Attitude-Object

Subject

Consumer Goods

Correct Answer:

Attitude-Object

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → Attitude-Object

In attitude formation and change, an attitude-object refers to any entity (person, product, idea, etc.) about which a person holds an attitude. In this case, the product (artificially flavoured soft drinks and food items) is the entity towards which Kirti — and then Manya — held and changed their attitude. Since both the endorsement and consumption reflect a change in attitude toward the product, the product is the attitude-object in this scenario.
