Question

read the passage from animal farm
it was a few days later than this that the pigs came
upon a case of whisky in the cellars of the farmhouse.
it had been overlooked at the time when the house
was first occupied. that night there came from the
farmhouse the sound of loud singing, in which, to
everyones surprise, the strains of \beasts of england\
were mixed up. at about half past nine napoleon,
wearing an old bowler hat of mr. joness, was
distinctly seen to emerge from the back door, gallop
rapidly round the yard, and disappear indoors again.
but in the morning a deep silence hung over the
farmhouse. not a pig appeared to be stirring. it was
nearly nine oclock when squealer made his
appearance, walking slowly and dejectedly, his eyes
dull, his tail hanging limply behind him, and with every
appearance of being seriously ill. he called the
animals together and told them that he had a terrible

which propaganda technique is used in this passage?
o repetition
o hyperbole
o name - calling
o card - stacking

Explanation:

Card - stacking is a propaganda technique where only one side of an issue is presented. In the passage, the pigs' actions (finding whisky, singing, Napoleon's behavior) are described in a way that hides the negative implications (such as the pigs' deviation from the original animal - centered ideals). The description of Squealer's sick appearance might be part of a narrative to cover up the pigs' over - indulgence in whisky, presenting a one - sided view (making it seem like something else is wrong rather than the pigs' misbehavior). Repetition is about repeating a word or idea; there is no such repetition here. Hyperbole is extreme exaggeration, which is not present. Name - calling involves using derogatory terms for others, which is also not the case.

Answer:

card - stacking
