stress falls on “is” in this question.

There are many techniques you can use to persuade people, one of the most powerful is repetition.

Repetition is a fundamental aspect of persuasion. It's a technique that's been used for centuries by everyone from politicians to advertisers to convince people to take a certain action or believe a certain idea. And it works because repetition helps to reinforce your message and make it stick in people's minds.

One of the ways repetition can be used effectively in business is through the use of images. Images have a powerful impact on our brains, and they can help to reinforce your message in a way that words alone cannot. For example, if you're trying to sell a product, using images of happy customers using that product can help to convince others to buy it as well. Similarly, if you're trying to negotiate a deal, using images of successful partnerships or collaborations can help to persuade the other party to agree to your terms.

Repetition is also about using the same phrases and words repeatedly to drive your point home. This can be especially effective in business, where you often need to communicate complex ideas in a clear and concise manner. By using the same phrases and words repeatedly, you can help to ensure that your message is understood and remembered by your audience.

Of course, You also need to make sure that your message is credible and compelling. This means providing evidence to support your claims, and using persuasive language to make your argument as convincing as possible.

Another important aspect of persuasion in business is understanding your audience. Different people are persuaded by different things, so it's important to tailor your message to the needs and preferences of your audience. This might mean using different images, phrases, or arguments depending on who you're trying to persuade.

By using repetition, images, phrases, and other persuasive techniques, you can increase your chances of success in business and achieve your goals.

El taco en México es uno de los platillos emblema a nivel internacional, por la gran variedad que tienen; desde tamaño, si son suaves o duros, hasta el contenido que lleva el taco. Desde un ingrediente hasta todo un platillo completo en un solo taco, los puedes encontrar desde un puesto en la calle hasta restaurantes gourmet.

Es considerado la comida rápida en México, pero con un excelente valor nutritivo. Puede ser un taco que tiene carne, verduras o frutas; o solo vegetales, puede ir desde carne al vapor o bien algún producto frito.

Usualmente la tortilla puede ser de varios ingredientes desde harina de trigo o nopal, o la tradicional harina de maíz.

La tortilla es consumida desde la época Precolombina y se prepara con un proceso de nixtamalización (maíz, agua y cal); después pasa por el metate para hacer la masa, y de ahí toma la forma de la tortilla.

Sin embargo, el taco hizo que, durante la época de la conquista, existiera la primera taquiza o el acto de comer en un colectivo tacos; iniciado por Hernán Cortes en Coyoacán.

Los primeros tacos eran de mole, guajolote y hasta de xoloitzcuintle (raza de perro). Antes de llegar a un estatus de comida gourmet, gracias a la nueva cocina mexicana, era considerada comida para la clase trabajadora.

El taco se puede dividir en 2 categorías, por tipo de carne o relleno y el otro por tipo de preparación.

Un mexicano te dirá que el éxito de un taco, más allá de la tortilla o el relleno, será la salsa. Este es uno de los ingredientes indispensables: desde una salsa roja (jitomate), salsa verde (tomate), guacamole (aguacate y chile serrano), pico de gallo (jitomate, cebolla y chile verde).
