Such groupings as “Help Wanted1*, "Real Estate'1, "Lost and Found" are made, the rate charged being less than for display advertising.Classified advertisements are a(n)(42)to the reader and a saving to the advertiser. The reader who is interested in a particular kind of advertisement finds all advertisements of that type grouped for him. The advertisers may, on this(43), use a very small advertisementthat would be lost if it were placed among larger advertisements in the paper.It is(44)that the reader approaches the classified advertisement in a different frame of mind from that in which he approaches the other advertisements in the paper. He turns to a page of classified advertisements to search for the(45)advertisement that will meet his needs.As the reader's attention is(46), the advertiser does not need to rely to much(47)on display type to get the reader's attention. Formerly all classified advertisements were of the same size and did not have display type. With the increase in the number of such advertisements, however, each advertiser within a certain group is(48)with others in the same group forthe reader's attention. In many cases the result has been an increase in the size of the space used and the(49)of headlines and pictures. In that way the classified advertisement has inreality become a display advertisement. This is particularly true of real estate advertising.IIL Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.
