Answer 1

In "Propaganda: Battling For The Mind" by Shelby Ostergaard, the author's discussion of North Korea's use of propaganda contribute to the development of ideas in the text (Paragraph 5 ):

B. It shows that propaganda is still used today and can leave people misinformed or unaware of important ideas and events.

The above option is correct because looking at Paragraph 5 of "Propaganda: Battling For The Mind", Ostergaard pointed out the following about North Korea:

• While suffering from famine, the government produced posters to encourage them to eat twice a day because of health benefits.
• In their museums, they teach people about American atrocities that never occurred.
• Due to propaganda, their understanding of history and the world is different from that of South Korea.

So, we can see that North Korea's use of propaganda in the development of the text really made the people uninformed or unaware of important things and events around them.
