Answer:

B. Direct Object

Explanation:

A direct object receives the action of a transitive verb. Thus, the infinitive verb <em>to swing</em> is undergoes the action of the verb <em>began</em>.

The rest of the options are incorrect. In the sentence given, <em>to swing</em> does not function as a main verb. Besides, a predicate noun or nominative follows the verb <em>to be</em> and gives information about the subject. Finally, the infinitive verb does not follow a preposition.

adoni [48]

Answer:

Corrupt leaders use propaganda to remain in power.

Explanation:

George Orwell's "Animal Farm" is an allegorical take on the Soviet nation under Stalin. This novella shows how a group of animals revolted against their human masters and made leaders among themselves only to disintegrate into further chaos.

The given passage from chapter 6 of the text reveals how Squealer tries to persuade the other animals on the farm to denounce sheets, for they represent humans but not the bed itself. And in this proposal, he shows how different propaganda was used or employed, twisted, and emphasized by leaders according to their own advantage.<u> Just like Squealer's notion of having a bed isn't bad but refused to use the sheets, so also corrupt leaders use propagandas as and however they can manipulate to ensure they remain longer in power. </u>
