Read the passage from Animal Farm.

"What is that gun firing for?" said Boxer.

"To celebrate our victory!" cried Squealer.

"What victory?" said Boxer. His knees were bleeding, he had lost a shoe and split his hoof, and a dozen pellets had lodged themselves in his hind leg.

"What victory, comrade? Have we not driven the enemy off our soil—the sacred soil of Animal Farm?"

"But they have destroyed the windmill. And we had worked on it for two years!"

"What matter? We will build another windmill. We will build six windmills if we feel like it. You do not appreciate, comrade, the mighty thing that we have done. The enemy was in occupation of this very ground that we stand upon. And now—thanks to the leadership of Comrade Napoleon—we have won every inch of it back again!"

"Then we have won back what we had before," said Boxer.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The propaganda technique used in this passage is "glittering generalities" as Squealer uses vague, positive-sounding words like "victory," "sacred soil," and "mighty thing" to describe their situation and their leader, Napoleon, without providing any concrete details or evidence to back up his claims.
