Guiding question: From the example of Tanya, what qualities should an ideal stealth marketer have?
My understanding
From Tanya’s example, an ideal stealth marketer should have qualities like being attractive, socially influential, interested in trendy areas (fashion, pop music, shopping), and capable of promoting products naturally in blogs and social media. These qualities help them blend into social circles and make their promotions seem like genuine recommendations.

Guiding question: Why does the writer quote Tanya’s words?
My understanding
The writer quotes Tanya’s words to present the perspective of a stealth marketer herself . Her words reveal the mindset of such marketers—they see free samples and “insider knowledge” as benefits, and don’t consider their paid promotion dishonest. This quote adds authenticity and a personal angle to the discussion, letting readers understand the marketers’ own justification for their actions.

“You think a person is being helpful,” says a psychologist, “but that’s very different from someone telling us something because they are getting paid for it. You don’t know who to trust or who to listen to anymore.”
Guiding questions: What is the purpose of quoting the psychologist? What is the writer’s
My understanding
The purpose of quoting the psychologist is to present a contrasting viewpoint to Tanya’s . This quote helps the writer show that while stealth marketing may seem harmless to some, it raises ethical and trust issues, providing a more balanced and critical perspective on the topic.

We can often find fake reviews on social media and shopping websites.In some cases, a person may give five-star reviews and make some positive comments on their latest purchases.
