The Passage B supports the theme that perseverance pays off.

Explanation:

The tortoise with a pretty daughter is a story of how a king declared that any daughter born in the kingdom more beautiful than the prince's wives , should be killed along with her family members.

There was a tortoise to whom, a beautiful daughter was born. While the mother wanted the girl to be killed to save themselves, the tortoise was against it and saved his daughter by keeping her hidden.

When the prince accidentally saw her,he fell in love with her and wanted to marry her. The king wanted to kill the beautiful damsel but, when he saw her beauty, he had a change of heart.

This shows that the Tortoise was wisest of all Men and animals, as his perseverance paid off. He without getting scared chose to protect his daughter and waited for the king to realize, how wrong he was to pass this law.

In return for his perseverance , he not only got his daughter married to the king's son , but also got half of the Kingdom along with riches and slaves.

Do you think the government has right to use propaganda during the war to further their agenda?

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

The biggest con is that it is a con. It’s a lie or exaggeration intended to deceive people into thinking that one side is right and one side is wrong. Start telling people what they think is true already, but slip another ‘fact’ in there. When they believe in that ‘fact’, do it again until they believe what you want them to believe. Ever see the ’80s movie Red Dawn? It (probably) wasn’t propaganda. It was the end product of decades of propaganda. Everybody knew that, naturally, the commies are going to attack America because they hate freedom and want to be evil sadistic monsters to us since they do the same to their people. Oh, I almost forgot - they aren’t allowed to have Bibles either. By the time Red Dawn came out people believed that some Soviet-backed Nicaraguan commies might paratroop in and shoot rocket launchers down a high school hallway just because. Watch the movie now and it’s an amusing sci-fi. Back then, well, the s-t could happen!

The pro is that you can unify people with propaganda. People were willing to fund rockets to the moon just to get there before the commies (who weren’t actually trying to get to the moon). Funding an insane nuclear arms race was a no-brainer - the question was whether to spend a lot or a whole lot on it. Having a screw Russia no matter what they do policy made total sense to everyone. You didn’t hear anyone saying, “we should just let the Soviets have Afghanistan.” Instead you heard about those Hitler-esque expansionists who can’t be appeased. Propaganda united the people of the US against the USSR and created a concerted effort from the government to fund military spending on a war that wasn’t even being fought
