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)
A. the resignation of a president
C. the assassination of a president
E. a president dying of natural causes while in office
The 25th amendment is the presidential succession in case something happens to the president. This is invoked if the president dies while in office, the vice presidency becomes vacant, if the president cannot fulfill their duties (ex. undergo a medical procedure that temporarily restraints them), or if congress finds the president to be an unfit leader and votes to remove them from office.
Truman presents American policy as both offensive and defensive. Because he makes it known to the Soviets that America is standing up against Communism, Thus by showing the Soviets what America is really made of. He uses the word contain to address how communism is. He doesn't want communism to die or grow rapidly, But he wants it to stay at the level it currently is at shortly after WWII.
