As Mikaela thumbed through the magazine, she noted that all of the ads for gambling
casinos featured attractive, successful-looking, upper-middle class persons, smiling
happily and surrounded by other happy, successful people.
She thought about how the
ads left out any acknowledgement of persons like a few she knew who had gambled to
excess, creating great financial difficulties as well as relational problems. She knew, for
example, one person who lost his home due to his gambling habit. She knew another
whose marriage crumbled due to the financial strain his gambling had caused the couple.

A) mental argument
B) visual literacy
