Correct answer: GLITTERING GENERALITIES

Explanation:

As defined by Richard Nordquist, writing for ThoughtCo, "A glittering generality is a vague word or phrase used to evoke positive feelings rather than to convey information."

In the political candidate's promise, "peace, prosperity, and progress" are all vague terms, without specifying how exactly the candidate will work to achieve those goals.   Offering glittering generalities is not wrong, but if there are no concrete action plans or details provided, then the phrases are only propaganda.

As to the other items listed, here are quick definitions of how those forms of propaganda work:

  • Bandwagon = giving the impression that everyone else is jumping on board with this program or movement, so you don't want to miss out.
  • Card stacking = when a political candidate rehearses all his accomplishments but leaves out any items that would show his weaknesses or failures.
  • Plain folks = presenting oneself as a "regular guy" or gal, a person of the people, just like the average voter (even if that's not really true of the identify of the candidate)

Guys I am writing an essay and I need to get some facts straight. Were the pregnant woman back them during the Medieval Times in
Alborosie

Answer: this is off the top of my head but I believe so.

Explanation:

Back then, women would still have to work until they were literally giving birth, I believe. You would not expect that with how women act, now, and how much they complain about being pregnant but women can work while pregnant. during medieval times, the men were often off fighting or hunting so women, even while pregnant, had to take care of children, tend to plants, sew, and all sorts of things.

I recommend doing some extra research but I believe this is right.
