Read the passage from Animal Farm

On the third Sunday after Snowball's expulsion, the
animals were somewhat surprised to hear Napoleon
announce that the windmill was to be built after all. He
did not give any reason for having changed his mind,

Step-by-step explanation:

This passage contains two examples of propaganda:

1. Snowball is exploited as a scapegoat - By blaming Snowball for all of the troubles and defeats, Napoleon establishes a frequent rival for the animals to rally around and distracts them from the true concerns at hand.

2. Squealer communicates with the animals through Squealer - Napoleon employs Squealer as his spokesperson to communicate with the other animals. This allows Napoleon to avoid any negative consequences or backlash from the other animals while simultaneously winning their support and trust through Squealer's persuasive dialogue.
