English

The speaker wants to abandon his mortal body because bodies as they age become old, raggedy, and useless. He says "An aged man is but a paltry thing, A tattered coat upon a stick". This shows how much he dislikes his old body and wishes to "<span>But such a form as Grecian goldsmiths make", which means he thinks that in Byzantium he will take the form of a golden statue. </span>

Which detail best supports the idea that oppressive leaders use propaganda to achieve their goals?
myrzilka [38]

Answer: "Snowball and Napoleon sent out flights of pigeons . . . to mingle with the animals on neighbouring farms . . . and teach them the tune of ‘Beasts of England.’"

Explanation:

Everyday Snowball and Napoleon sent pigeons which went to other farms to tell them the news of the rebellion as well as to teach them the words of the Animal Farm anthem,<em> The Beasts of England. </em>

This was a calculated attempt to show the country that animals could rule themselves by using propaganda (biased information) because the pigeons that were sent out spoke only wonderfully about the farm and this led to most believing that the farm was a paradise where animals could rule themselves and govern their own affairs even though in fact, it was a dictatorship.
