read the passage from animal farm.

in april, animal farm was proclaimed a republic, and it became necessary to elect a president. there was only one candidate, napoleon, who was elected unanimously. on the same day it was given out that fresh documents had been discovered which revealed further details about snowballs complicity with jones. it now appeared that snowball had not, as the animals had previously imagined, merely attempted to lose the battle of the cowshed by means of a stratagem, but had been openly fighting on jones’s side. in fact, it was he who had actually been the leader of the human forces, and had charged into battle with the words \long live humanity!\ on his lips. the wounds on snowball’s back, which a few of the animals still remembered to have seen, had been inflicted by napoleon’s teeth.

how does this passage demonstrate the use of propaganda?

○ it uses bandwagon by claiming that snowball was fighting alongside jones.
○ it uses scapegoating by blaming snowball for actions he is not responsible for.
○ it uses hyperbole by exaggerating snowballs actions during the battle of the cowshed.
○ it uses repetition by repeating tales of snowballs actions during the battle of the cowshed.

Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
- Analyze Option 1: Bandwagon propaganda encourages following the crowd. The passage doesn't show this; it's about blaming Snowball, not getting others to join a trend. So this is incorrect.
- Analyze Option 2: Scapegoating in propaganda involves blaming a group/individual for issues they didn't cause. The passage says new documents "reveal" Snowball was fighting with Jones, but this is false (he was on the animals' side, wounds from Napoleon). So Napoleon blames Snowball for actions he didn't do, using scapegoating. This fits.
- Analyze Option 3: Hyperbole is exaggeration, but the passage invents false actions, not exaggerate real ones. So this is incorrect.
- Analyze Option 4: Repetition repeats a message, but the passage introduces new false claims, not repeat old tales. So this is incorrect.

# Answer:
B. It uses scapegoating by blaming Snowball for actions he is not responsible for.
