What is an attempt to turn people against someone by using unpleasant labels?

  1. Plain Folks

  2. Card Stacking

  3. Testimonial

  4. Name Calling

The correct answer is: Name Calling

An attempt to turn people against someone by using unpleasant labels is known as "Name Calling". This tactic is often used in political campaigns where rivals try to damage each other's reputations by using derogatory or negative labels to discredit them. Options A, B, and C are not relevant because they do not involve using unpleasant labels to turn people against someone. "Plain Folks" refers to showing humility and relatability to gain trust, "Card Stacking" refers to selectively using information to support one side of an argument, and "Testimonial" refers to using an endorsement or personal account to persuade others. Only "Name Calling" fits the description given in the question.
