Consider the following excerpt from your instructions: 'To activate the device, press and hold the power button for three seconds. Once the screen lights up, swipe left to access the main menu, and tap the icon labeled 'Settings.'' Now, answering the following questions: 1. Identify and explain the use of imperative mood in the given instructions, and how it fulfills the purpose of providing clear guidance to the user. 2. Reflect on the potential implications of not using the imperative mood correctly in such a context, considering the impact on the user experience and the effectiveness of the instructions.
