Why are slogans and speeches used in elections?

To attract attention and make the message memorable

Correct answer: A, to attract attention and make a message memorable. A slogan uses a few striking words, while a speech explains ideas in greater detail. Together they help a party or candidate present an issue, policy, promise, or appeal to voters. A is correct because repetition, simple language, and public delivery can make a campaign message easier to notice and remember. B is wrong because only the authorised election process determines polling dates; slogans cannot add polling days. C is wrong because speeches and slogans may influence opinion, but they cannot directly alter the counted result. D is wrong because election rules are established by law and election authorities, not removed through campaign language. Good communication is not the same as a guaranteed victory. Memory cue: slogans catch attention; speeches add explanation.
