Question

evaluating propaganda techniques
image: poster with text \dont let that shadow touch them buy war bonds\
what was the purpose of this poster?

• to illustrate how close the axis powers progressed in relation to the us
• to convince people to buy war bonds by instilling fear in them
• to educate people on how to use war bonds
• to explain the role that children played in the war

Explanation:

The poster has the text "Don't Let That Shadow Touch Them" and "Buy WAR BONDS". The "shadow" likely represents a threat (like Axis powers), aiming to instill fear to persuade people to buy war bonds. The first option is about illustrating Axis progress, not the main purpose of a propaganda poster to persuade. The third is about educating use, which the poster doesn't do. The fourth is about children's war role, not the focus. So the purpose is to convince via fear to buy war bonds.

Answer:

B. to convince people to buy war bonds by instilling fear in them
