Question

Read the passage from Animal Farm.

Now if there was one thing that the animals were completely certain of, it was that they did not want Jones back. When it was put to them in this light, they had no more to say. The importance of keeping the pigs in good health was all too obvious. So it was agreed without further argument that the milk and the windfall apples (and also the main crop of apples when they ripened) should be reserved for the pigs alone.

By the late summer the news of what had happened on Animal Farm had spread across half the county. Every day Snowball and Napoleon sent out flights of pigeons whose instructions were to mingle with the animals on neighbouring farms, tell them the story of the Rebellion, and teach them the tune of "Beasts of England."

Which detail best supports the idea that oppressive leaders use propaganda to achieve their goals?

“The milk and the windfall apples (and also the main crop of apples when they ripened) should be reserved for the pigs alone.”
“Snowball and Napoleon sent out flights of pigeons . . . to mingle with the animals on neighbouring farms . . . and teach them the tune of ‘Beasts of England.’”
“Now if there was one thing that the animals were completely certain of, it was that they did not want Jones back.”
“By the late summer the news of what had happened on Animal Farm had spread across half the county.”

Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Comment

The best answer, I think, is B. Why would Snowball and Napoleon be concerned about other farms? It is because the more the news spread, and the point of the propaganda, the more the other animals everywhere would want what was on the Jones farm. That would increase the power and influence of the Pigs on Animal Farm.
