单选题
A spokesperson for the Madrid based clothing retailer
Brownstone Ltd. ______ today the signing of a famous movie star, Angela Porter
to an endorsement deal for their new line of blue jeans. The movie star will
appear in 5 different television advertisements for more than a year. The first
will be on May 10. Brownstone has often used movie star
endorsements to sell their products but this is the ______ time that Angela has
ever agreed to endorse its clothing. Marketing expert Benjamin Patterson said
that signing Angela Porter is a major coup for the company, which has endured a
two-year slump in sales. He stated, "The company is trying to ______ customers
now entering their 20s." These people identify strongly with Angela, who is 21
years old. She has become an icon for that generation.
