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.

In the given case, Manya is the _____ while Kirti is the _____.

Options:

Influencer, follower

Subordinate, Leader

Target, Source

Target, Subordinate

Correct Answer:

Target, Source

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → Target, Source

  • Kirti (the celebrity) is the source of the influence, as her change in behavior and public appeal influences others.

  • Manya (the student and fan) is the target, as she receives this influence and modifies her behavior accordingly.

Thus, Manya is the target, Kirti is the source.
