Answer: Extraordinary
Explanation:
The headline"man bites dog" is an abbreviated account of the phrase:
"When a dog bites a man, that is not news, because it happens so often. But if a man bites a dog, that is news", attributed to both Alfred Harmsworth (1865–1922) and Charles Anderson Dana (1819–1897).
It refers to the way unusual events, like a man biting a dog, are more newsworthy than ordinary ones, with comparable results, like a man bitten by a dog.

Literary Digest took a presidential election straw poll for years, and for years it accurately predicted the winner. It was only in 1936 that the poll predicted, mistakenly, the Republican candidate as the winner, and Literary Digest lost its credibility.
Answer:
A. the Industrial Revolution.
Explanation:
When one begins to study the Industrial Revolution, the first question to raise is what kind of revolution we are talking about. Often we understand the word "revolution" as a revolt, a dispute between political groups, or even a civil war in a given society. But that is not the point here.
The meaning we use in this case is that of revolution as a profound transformation, a very big change, a break from what was before. When we speak, then, of an "industrial revolution", we are talking about a drastic change in the way man-made products are manufactured, this change has been so strong that we can say that the changes in technology that underlie sustained growth that we observed today began at that time.
This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:
Choose the propaganda style that best fits the statement below. "My opponent, Governor Thomason has raised taxes, increased spending and lied to you, the American people."
plain folks
name calling
card stacking
bandwagon
Answer:
The propaganda style that best fits the statement is:
B. name calling.
Explanation:
We can easily reach the conclusion above via elimination. Let's take a look at each of the options:
A. plain folks: a style of propaganda that attempts to depict a certain person as "one of the people" or "average Joe". It's commonly used by politicians to show us they are ordinary people just like us. This option is INCORRECT.
<u>B. name calling: a style that consists of saying bad things about one's opponent in order to make people see him from a negative perspective. Often involves attributing pejorative nicknames or adjectives to the other. This is precisely what we have here, since the speaker is calling his opponent a liar. This option is CORRECT.</u>
C. card stacking: a style which manipulates information in order to make something or someone look better. This option is INCORRECT.
D. bandwagon: a technique that relies on the idea of "jumping on board" or "everyone else is doing this, and so should you." This is clearly not the case here. This option is INCORRECT.
