Question

Which of the following is a propaganda statement? Middle school students can do a lot to make changes in the world, like volunteering their time and money to help others. Students can conduct awareness campaigns over issues like poverty, discrimination, and human trafficking. Students can raise funds for charitable organizations that seek to help others. Donate just $1 a day, in order to save the life of an abused, neglected, helpless animal.

Answer 1

The correct answer is the final statement: Donate just $1 a day in order to save the life of an abused, neglected, helpless animal.

This is an example of a propaganda statement because it influences the feelings of the reader by using words such as “abused” and “helpless” to make the reader feel sorry for the animal while also stating that for a very small fee you could help to stop these actions which gives you hope and calls you to help protect abused animals.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Donate just $1 a day, in order to save the life of an abused, neglected, helpless animal. It’s this one because words like “helpless and abused” are meant to create an emotional reaction in the reader in order to get them to donate rather than just providing evidence of such.
