true or false: more sophisticated and educated audiences are more likely to demand complex arguments and are less likely to be swayed by emotional appeals when compared to less sophisticated and less well-educated audiences.

Explanation:

For the first statement: Social affiliations, even if not fully voluntary, often correlate with shared attitudes, values, and beliefs that shape how an audience receives advocacy. Understanding these affiliations is key to crafting effective arguments, so the claim that they have little effect is incorrect.
For the second statement: More sophisticated, educated audiences typically have greater critical thinking skills, so they tend to respond better to well-reasoned, complex arguments and are less easily persuaded by emotional appeals alone compared to less educated audiences.

Answer:

First question: False
Second question: True
