How does this passage demonstrate the use of propaganda? Select two options. It demonstrates repetition because Squealer reminds the animals that they are free at the farm because of the work they are doing. It demonstrates hyperbole because Squealer exaggerates the figures related to positive developments of the farm. It demonstrates bandwagon because Squealer convinces the animals that everyone believes that life is better now than it was before. It demonstrates plain folks because Squealer explains why the pigs and dogs deserve better food rations than the other animals. It demonstrates glittering generalities because Squealer does not explain the claim that equality in rations would be contrary to the farm’s ideals.

Meanwhile life was hard. The winter was as cold as the last one had been, and food was even shorter. Once again all rations were reduced, except those of the pigs and the dogs. A too rigid equality in rations, Squealer explained, would have been contrary to the principles of Animalism. In any case he had no difficulty in proving to the other animals that they were NOT in reality short of food, whatever the appearances might be. For the time being, certainly, it had been found necessary to make a readjustment of rations (Squealer always spoke of it as a "readjustment," never as a "reduction"), but in comparison with the days of Jones, the improvement was enormous. Reading out the figures in a shrill, rapid voice, he proved to them in detail that they had more oats, more hay, more turnips than they had had in Jones's day, that they worked shorter hours, that their drinking water was of better quality, that they lived longer, that a larger proportion of their young ones survived infancy, and that they had more straw in their stalls and suffered less from fleas. The animals believed every word of it. Truth to tell, Jones and all he stood for had almost faded out of their memories. They knew that life nowadays was harsh and bare, that they were often hungry and often cold, and that they were usually working when they were not asleep. But doubtless it had been worse in the old days. They were glad to believe so. Besides, in those days they had been slaves and now they were free, and that made all the difference, as Squealer did not fail to point out.

Answer:

The passage above demonstrates the use of propaganda because:

It demonstrates bandwagon because Squealer convinces the animals that everyone believes that life is better now than it was before.

It demonstrates glittering generalities because Squealer does not explain the claim that equality in rations would be contrary to the farm’s ideals.

Explanation:

Bandwagon means stating that your opinion is the right one because most people agree with you. After reading some numbers and stating some facts no animal could disprove, Squealer efficiently convinced them to agree with him. Having most animals on his side makes it easier to keep things under control.

A glittering generality does not offer any explanation or information. It simply states something in a way that can evoke feelings or that seems right. Squealer states that rigidity in controlling rations would be against the principles of Animalism, but he does not explain why.

This passage demonstrate the use of propaganda because:

C. It demonstrates bandwagon because Squealer convinces the animals that everyone believes that life is better now than it was before.

E. It demonstrates glittering generalities because Squealer does not explain the claim that equality in rations would be contrary to the farm’s ideals.

According to the given excerpt, we are told of how hard life was for the animals and how food scarcity had led to begin to eat in rations, all except for the pigs and dogs.

The narrator makes use of bandwagon propaganda by showing erroneously that his claim was right because he was supported by a majority of the animals.,

He also made use of glittering generalities to show that his claim is right, even though he does not offer any valid explanation. He rather relies on the emotions of the animals to back him up.

Therefore, the correct answers are options C and E
