it makes the message entertaining to the audience
it eliminates the need for emotional appeal

which of the following best describes covert propaganda? (10 points)
propaganda secretly used by a government to influence events or opinions
propaganda that openly identifies its government source
a truthful account of military events
advertising for consumer products

Explanation:

• First Question: The bandwagon technique encourages people to join the popular or successful side. Card - stacking is about presenting only certain information, name - calling is using negative labels, and transfer is associating an idea with something positive.
• Second Question: When propaganda has some truth, it increases credibility. People are less likely to dismiss it immediately, and the propagandist can twist the truth to influence beliefs. Making it entertaining is not the main reason related to the element of truth. Eliminating the need for emotional appeal is incorrect as propaganda often uses both. And it doesn't guarantee the audience will ignore it.
• Third Question: Covert propaganda is secretly used by a government (or other entity) to influence events or opinions. Propaganda that openly identifies its source is not covert. A truthful account of military events is not propaganda. Advertising for consumer products is a different type of communication.

Answer:

• First Question: Bandwagon
• Second Question: It increases credibility and helps twist facts to influence beliefs without being immediately dismissed
• Third Question: Propaganda secretly used by a government to influence events or opinions
