Question

Read the passage from Animal Farm.

But when the animals saw the green flag flying, and heard the gun firing again—seven times it was fired in all—and heard the speech that Napoleon made, congratulating them on their conduct, it did seem to them after all that they had won a great victory. The animals slain in the battle were given a solemn funeral. Boxer and Clover pulled the wagon which served as a hearse, and Napoleon himself walked at the head of the procession. Two whole days were given over to celebrations. There were songs, speeches, and more firing of the gun, and a special gift of an apple was bestowed on every animal, with two ounces of corn for each bird and three biscuits for each dog. It was announced that the battle would be called the Battle of the Windmill, and that Napoleon had created a new decoration, the Order of the Green Banner, which he had conferred upon himself. In the general rejoicings the unfortunate affair of the banknotes was forgotten.

How does this passage demonstrate the use of propaganda?

It repeats the animals’ accomplishments in the battle with Frederick over and over.
It uses exaggerations to imply that the animals won the battle with Frederick.
It glosses over the negative parts of the battle with Frederick while exaggerating the positive aspects.
It uses farm animals to endorse the idea that the animals were victorious in the battle with Frederick.
