Question

read the passage from animal farm. in april, animal farm was proclaimed a republic, and it became necessary to elect a president. there was only one candidate, napoleon, who was elected unanimously. on the same day it was given out that fresh documents had been discovered which revealed further details about snowballs complicity with jones. it now appeared that snowball had not, as the animals had previously imagined, merely attempted to lose the battle of the cowshed by means of a stratagem, but had been openly fighting on joness side. in fact, it was he who had actually been the leader of the human forces, and had charged into battle with the words \long live humanity!\ on his lips. the wounds on snowballs back, which a few of the animals still remembered to have seen, had been inflicted by napoleons teeth. how does this passage demonstrate the use of propaganda? it uses bandwagon by claiming that snowball was fighting alongside jones. it uses scapegoating by blaming snowball for actions he is not responsible for. it uses hyperbole by exaggerating snowballs actions during the battle of the cowshed. it uses repetition by repeating tales of snowballs actions during the battle of the cowshed.

Explanation:

The passage blames Snowball for actions he likely didn't do to shift blame away from others, which is scapegoating.

Answer:

It uses scapegoating by blaming Snowball for actions he is not responsible for.
