In the Scotch Highland, however, the clans retained their Catholic james acknowledged the Church of England and sil sanctioned the largely Protestant translation of the Bible that still bears his name. Fe pune Charles I proved himself to be less committed tothe Protestant Church of England, Charles married Catholic Princess Henrietta Maria of France, and there were suspicions among the English and the Lowland Scots that Charles was quietly a Catholic. Charles's own politcal troubles extended beyond religion in this case, and he ‘was beheaded in 1649. Eventually, his sop King Charles Il would be crowned, and this Charles is believed to have converted secretly to the: coy CChurch{Charies Il died without a legitimate heir, and his brother James ascended James's son Kin; th to the throne as King James Il. ‘James was recognized to be a pfacticing Catholic, and his commitment to Catholicism would prove to be his downfall. ‘James's wife Mary Beatrice lost a number of children during their infancy, and when she became pregnant again 1687 the public became concerned. If James had a son, that son would undoubtedly be raised a Catholic, and the English people would not stand for this. Mary gave birth toa son, but the story quickly circulated thatthe royal child hhad died and the child named James’s heir was a foundling smuggled in. James, his wife, and his infant son were forced to flee; and James’s Protestant daughter Mary was crowned the queen, In spite of a strong resemblance to the king, the young James was generally rejected among the English and the Lowland Scots, who referred to him as “the Pretender.” But in the Highlands the Catholic princeling was welcomed. He inspired a group known as Jacobites, to reflect the Latin version of his name. His own son Charles, known affectionately as Bonnie Prince Charlie, would eventually raise an army and attempt to recapture what he believed to be his throne. The movement was soundly defeated at the Battle of Culloden in 1746, and England and Scotland have remained Protestant ever since. AY 1. Which of the following is a logical conclusion based on the information that is provided A. Like Elizabeth I, Charles II never married and thus never had children, B. The English people were relieved each time that James II's wife Mary lost another child, as this prevented the ince of a Catholic monarch. ‘Charles I's beheading had less to do with religion than with other political problems that England was facing, ‘Unlike his son and grandsons, King James I had no Catholic leanings and was a faithful follower of the Protestant Church of England. 2.

Using the tools of neuroscientists, such as clectroencephalogram (EEG) mapping and functional magnetic-resonance imaging (FMRI), they are trying to leam ‘more about the mental processes behind purchasing decisions. The resulting fusion of neuroscience and marketing is inevitably, being called ‘neuromarketing". B___ The first person to apply brain-imaging technology inthis way was Gerry Zaltman of Harvard University, in the late 1990s. The idea remained in obscurity until 2001, when BrightHouse, a marketing consultancy based in Atlanta, Georgia, set up a dedicated neuromarketing arm, BrightHouse Neurostrategies Group. (Bright House lists Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines and Home Depot among its clients.) But the company's name may itself simply be an example of clever marketing. BrightHouse does not scan people while showing them specific products or campai gn ideas, but bases its work on the results of more general FMRI-based research into consumer preferences and decision- making carried out at Emory University in Atlanta. C Can brain scanning really be applied to marketing? The basic principle isnot that different from focus groups and other traditional forms of market research. A volunteer lies in an FMRI machine and is shown images or video clips. In place of an interview or questionnaire, the subject's response is evaluated by monitoring brain activity. FMRI provides real-time images of brain activity, in which different areas “light up” depending on the level of blood flow. This provides clues to the subject's subconscious thought pattems. Neuroscientists know, for example, thatthe sense of selfis associated with an area ofthe brain known as the medial prefrontal cortex. A flow of blood to that area while the subject is looking at a particular logo suggests that he or she identifies with that brand, D At first, it seemed that only companies in Europe were prepared to admit that they used neuromarketing, Two carmakers, DaimlerChrysler in Germany and Ford's European arm, ran pilot studies in 2003, But more recently, -3 Scanned with CamScannerAmerican compani can companies ha marketing fie gates have become mo : : Techolony (Case Los Angee, is au rae of neuromahting Liberman Research Worldwide, recent fo enable movie stud, With the California Institute of aie epeported that a polit Fal nit Studios to market-tes film trailers.

H___ Consumer advocates are wary. Gary Ruskin of Commercial Alert, a lobby group, thinks existing marketing = iques are powerful enough. “Already, marketing is deeply implicated in many serious pathologies,” he says. at is especially true of children, who are suffering from an epidemic of marketing- related diseases, including obesity and type-2 diabetes. Neuromarketing is a tool to amplify these trends.” 1 Dr Quartz counters that neuromarketing techniques could equally be used for benign purposes. ‘ways to utilise these technologies to create more responsible advertising,” he says. Brain-scanning could, for example, be used to detemine wien people are capable of making fee choices, to ensure that averting falls within those nds. 1 aac nti oy tat rani isan vain of pny ad tat information on the preferences of specific individuals will be misused. But neuromarketing studies rely on small numbers of volunteer subjects, so that seems implausible, Critics also object to the use of medical equipment for frivolous rather than medical purposes. But as Tim Ambler, a neuromarketing researcher at the London Business School, says: ‘A tool is a tool, and if the owner of the tool gets a decent rent for hiring it out, then that subsidises the cost of the equipment, and everybody wins.” Perhaps more brain-scanning will some day explain why some people like the idea of neuromarketing, but others do not.
