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: "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.’"
Explanation:
Everyday Snowball and Napoleon sent pigeons which went to other farms to tell them the news of the rebellion as well as to teach them the words of the Animal Farm anthem, The Beasts of England.
This was a calculated attempt to show the country that animals could rule themselves by using propaganda (biased information) because the pigeons that were sent out spoke only wonderfully about the farm and this led to most believing that the farm was a paradise where animals could rule themselves and govern their own affairs even though in fact, it was a dictatorship.
Answer:
the answer is "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.’" which is B on edgen 2020.

Two starving Frenchmen decide to go fishing.

Dogs and cats are two most popular pets in the United States D. Hawaii became a part of the United States on august 21, 1959
Answer: B
Explanation:
B is a topic that not everyone will agree on, and many people have a strong stance on it.
Cora spends her time in North Carolina reading in the attic. Her
reading material includes a Bible and almanacs, which "Cora
adored ... for containing the entire world" (183). How does the act
of reading, and of literacy, help Cora be free? What might the
significance of what she reads suggest about her growing
understanding of the world? Think, too, about how the Bible and
religion are used by Ethel and Ridgeway to justify slavery: "If God
had not meant for Africans to be enslaved, they wouldn't be in
chains" (195), and about Cora's observation: "Slavery is a sin
when whites were put to the yoke, but not the African" (182).
1. Being literate and able to read, allows Cora to have access to places, cultures and concepts that would never be presented to her in any other way. This allows her to be in control of her own information and content that she consumes or conveys a feeling of freedom and control of her own existence.
2. As stated in the answer above, reading brings information about everything she is curious about and everything she believes it is necessary to know. So reading can show her realities that she doesn't know from different places in the world, in addition to bringing information about facts and observable phenomena which increases her worldview.
3 and 4. Ethel and Ridgeway use factors such as the Bible and religion to justify slavery when they use concepts that claim that everything that happens in this world is done with God's permission and will. So if God allows Africans to be enslaved it is because that is his will and no one should be against God, but everyone must obey. However, the slavery of white men is a sin, for them, because white men serve God and God did not allow them to be enslaved and exploited, but to be superior to all others.

*TWELFTH NIGHT BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE*
Could someone please give me a quote from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night and then explain how it could be hard for some people to understand. (plus the meaning). I need an example for my essay, THANKS
"If music be the food of love, play on,
Give me excess of it that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken and so die.
That strain again, it had a dying fall.
O, it came o’er my ear like the sweet sound
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odour. Enough, no more,
’Tis not so sweet now as it was before.
[Music ceases]
O spirit of love, how quick and fresh art thou
That, notwithstanding thy capacity
Receiveth as the sea, naught enters there,
Of what validity and pitch so e’er,
But falls into abatement and low price
Even in a minute! So full of shapes is fancy
That it alone is high fantastical."
(I.i.1–15)
This is kind of long, but you can take bits of it. This line said by Orsino asks the musicians to give him so much musical love-food that he will overdose (“surfeit”) and cease to desire love any longer. Through these words, Shakespeare introduces the image of love as something unwanted, something that comes upon people unexpectedly and that is not easily avoided. But this image is complicated by Orsino’s comment about the relationship between romance and imagination: “So full of shapes is fancy / That it alone is high fantastical,” he says, relating the idea of overpowering love (“fancy”) to that of imagination (that which is “fantastical”). Through this connection, the play raises the question of whether romantic love has more to do with the reality of the person who is loved or with the lover’s own imagination. For Orsino and Olivia, both of whom are willing to switch lovers at a moment’s notice, imagination often seems more powerful than reality.
Given the formality, format and style of this transcript, who was the intended audience most likely to have been? “Hi, and welcome to your weekly sports roundup with me, Kai Katz. “Whenever most people think of sports, football or rugby typically come to mind. Some colleges and universities, though, are starting to change that. “In fact, I’m here at this year’s Canterbury TechCon, and that cheering you can hear behind me is from bksb College, who have just won their semi-final match against Trinity College. And for those not in the know, the game they were playing was Dark-Cloud, an MMORPG or Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game, which is hugely popular within the field of “e” or electronic sports…” a) Football players b) Retirees c) Students d) Regular gamers e) General Sports Fans
Answer:
e) General Sports Fans

A: While football is a sport and the passage did include sports, it didn't specifically mention the sport of football. The passage went into more detail about an online game called Dark-Cloud,
B: If this transcript was meant for retirees(people who are retired and don't work anymore), then the passage would talk about things like bingo or retirement homes. While many retirees do enjoy sports, it isn't really their main focus.
C: While students can enjoy sports, the passage didn't have any references to students or what students do, like school. Students aren't the main audience of this transcript even though they can be included.
D. Even though the transcript went into detail about a video game, it wasn't all about online games for regular gamers. It also includes sports. Now, sports includes both athletic sports like basketball and football and also online sports including competitive video games like Overwatch or Fortnite.
E: Yes, this transcript focuses on general sports fans. Fans of both athletic and online sports games. The transcript discusses both athletic and online sports, so its main audience is general sports fans.

In this excerpt, the poet alludes to seventeenth-century French philosopher Descartes, who emphasized the power of an individual's mind to create his own reality. By alluding to Descartes, the poet questions how individuals relate to
Answer:
D). their community.
Explanation:
The Allusion is demonstrated as the literary device in which the author offers an implicit or indirect reference to a historical, political, cultural, or literary person, event, place, idea, or thing. It allows the author to enhance the contextual depth of the work and comprehend the readers' understanding.
In the given excerpt from 'The Legend', the poet alludes to the ancient French philosopher in order to interrogate the manner in which 'individuals relate to their community.' It suggests that the readers must have previous knowledge about Descartes' idea of courage and strength of an individual's mind for 'creation of their own reality' as it would help them understand the author's idea which he is conveying apart from the 'concrete man lying on the ground.' Thus, option D is the correct answer.

D, their community.

A. abcb efgf B. abbc dede C. abab ccdd D. abbc deed
Answer:
C. abab ccdd.
Explanation:
The rhyme scheme of any line of a poem in poetry is the way the end words of each line sounds. The similarity of the sounds of each line signifies the pattern of rhyme in it.
In the given lines are taken from the second stanza of the poem "The Phobble Who Has no Toes" by Edward Lear. And looking closely at the end words/ sounds of each line, we can see a pattern.
Now, assigning each word/ sound with the alphabets, let's look into each line of the given poem.
The Pobble who has no toes (a)
Swam across the Bristol Channel; (b)
But before he set out he wrapped his nose (a)
In a piece of scarlet flannel. (b)
For his Aunt Jobiska said "No harm (c)
Can come to his toes if his nose is warm; (c)
And it's perfectly known that a Pobble's toes (d)
Are safe,—provided he minds his nose!" (d)
The words "toes/nose" rhyme with each other, thus assigned the letter (a).
"Channel" rhymes with "flannel", thus assigned (b).
"harm" from line 5 rhymes with "warm" from line 6, thus (c)
And "toes" from line 7 rhymes with "nose" from line 8, so (d).
Therefore, the rhyme scheme of the given lines of poetry is abab ccdd.
