(B), (C), (D), (E), (A)

(C), (D), (E), (B), (A)

Correct Answer:

(C), (D), (E), (B), (A)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → (C), (D), (E), (B), (A)

 

  • (C) Sukriti reads in the newspaper that a particular soft drink that she enjoys is extremely harmful. Initial awareness of negative information creates doubt or conflict.

  • (D) Sukriti sees that her favourite sportsperson has been advertising the same soft drink. This introduces the "source" (sportsperson) and the initial connection to the attitude object (soft drink).

  • (E) Sukriti has identified herself with the sportsperson and imitates him. This shows her attitude alignment based on identification with the sportsperson.

  • (B) Since the sportsperson has positive feelings for his fans, he changes his own habit of consuming the soft drink and starts advertising a health drink. This is the first step, where the source (sportsperson) changes their behavior regarding the attitude object (from soft drink to health drink), likely influenced by their connection to their fans.

  • (A) Sukriti gives up soft drinks and starts consuming a healthy drink. This is the second step and the final outcome, where Sukriti imitates the changed behavior of her identified source.
