Answer:
The Victorian social codes that are reflected in this excerpt are the emphasis on importance of appearances and the importance of wealth and social ranking.
"<em>The role of Social Media on the Arab uprisings</em>" is a study that analyzes the level of influence that the use of Internet and social media served as effective tools for organizing and planning the protests, while providing awareness to the outside world regarding what was really happening during the Arab Spring, a movement that started in late 2010 as a response to oppressive regimes.
The Options that sustain the claim are the following:
- “Networks formed on line were crucial in organizing a core group of activists, specifically in Egypt.”
- “Civil society leaders in Arab countries emphasized the role of ‘the Internet, mobile phones, and social media’ in the protests.”
- “Additionally, digital media has been used by Arabs to exercise freedom of speech and as a space for civic engagement.”
In this passage from "Animal Farm", by George Orwell, the detail that bests supports the idea that oppressive leaders use propaganda to achieve their goals is option <em>B “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.’”</em>
Propaganda is the spreading of rumors and true, false or incomplete information to influence public opinion. In this passage we learn that the enemy is Jones. Snowball, Napoleon, and the pigs are brain-workers who look after the welfare of the farm. They are the obvious leaders, because they are smart, and so they are entitled to eat the best food and drink milk. Propaganda together with the unwillingness to question authority makes the oppressed to obey without thinking. So they send out flights of pidgeons to mingle with the animals on neighboring farms to learn the tune of "Beasts of England", a way to use propaganda to achieve their goals.
