Selling with Meaning Answer Key

In this worksheet, students examine advertising slogans that use multiple-meaning words to create clever or memorable messages. They identify the key word, write its two meanings, and explain how both interpretations work together to make the slogan effective. This activity reinforces understanding of wordplay, persuasive language, and marketing techniques. Students practice analyzing meaning, interpreting figurative or literal usage, and understanding how language influences audiences. It also strengthens critical thinking as learners assess how advertisers use double meanings intentionally.
