Final answer:

The word 'polyglot' refers to something with many languages, 'monograph' means an essay about a single subject, the allusion to Thor is mythological, the reference to Moses is biblical, 'musically' requires -ally, propaganda involving fear suggests dire consequences, and facts and statistics are used in propaganda to provide specific information.

Step-by-step explanation:

Similarly, using the root mono, which means 'one', the word monograph would mean An essay about a single subject. Discussing the short texts provided, the sentence describing Sonya banging her fist makes a mythological allusion to Thor. When George is mentioned parting cobwebs like the Red Sea, this reference to Moses is of a Biblical nature. Regarding word endings, music requires the ending -ally to become musically, while glad, sick, and smug take the ending -ly.
