Animal Farm, Part 7: Rhetoric

Question 2 • FL-1001340-English 2 Sem 1 - Flex

Which evidence from the text supports the theme that dictatorships use propaganda to control decision-making in a state?

Answer
A
“All animals are equal.”
B
“No one believes more firmly than Comrade Napoleon.”
C
“He would be only too happy to let you make your decisions for yourselves.”
D
“Sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where should we be?”

Explanation

The line “Sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where should we be?” supports the theme because it uses fear of poor outcomes to discourage the animals from making decisions themselves. This kind of persuasive message is propaganda: it helps the dictatorship maintain control over decision-making. Choice C sounds supportive of freedom, but it does not show the same pressure to surrender independent judgment.
