The correct answer is B) cross-dressing.

Indeed, a transvestite is a male or a female that dresses up in clothing from the gender opposite to their biological gender. They also adopt the normative opposite gender’s mannerisms. The word’s etymology is very explicit. It includes the prefix <em>trans</em>, which means across, through, beyond, in Latin; then the root word <em>vestite</em>, which comes from Latin <em>vestitus</em>, which means clothed.

Viola is a transvestite in as much as she disguises herself as a man and speaks and acts like one, while she is actually a woman.

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.

Hey there James!

Based on my understanding of this passage, the correct answer would be <span>D.The poor suffer the most in war. The poor didn't know much about this, and not only that, but they were to be considered "lower class".

Hope this helps.
