Read the following passage and choose the best suitable option for the questions/statements.
In regard to propaganda the early advocates of universal literacy and a free press envisaged only two
possibilities: the propaganda might be true, or it might be false. They did not foresee what in fact has happened,
above all in our Western capitalist democracies - the development of a vast mass communications industry,
concerned in the main neither with the true nor the false, but with the unreal, the more or less totally irrelevant. In
a word, they failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions.
In the past most people never got a chance of fully satisfying this appetite. They might long for
distractions, but the distractions were not provided. Christmas came but once a year, feasts were "solemn and
rare," there were few readers and very little to read, and the nearest approach to a neighborhood movie theater was
the parish church, where the performances, though infrequent, were somewhat monotonous.
For conditions even remotely comparable to those now prevailing we must return to imperial Rome,
where the populace was kept in good humor by frequent, gratuitous doses of many kinds of entertainment - from
poetical dramas to gladiatorial fights, from recitations of Virgil to all-out boxing, from concerts to military
reviews and public executions. But even in Rome there was nothing like the non-stop distraction now provided by
newspapers and magazines, by radio, television and the cinema. In Brave New World non-stop distractions of the
most fascinating are deliberately used as instruments of policy, for the purpose of preventing people from paying
too much attention to the realities of the social and political situation. The other world of religion is different from
the other world of entertainment; but they resemble one another in being most decidedly "not of this world.
" Both are distractions and, if lived in too continuously, both can become, in Marx's phrase, "the opium of
the people" and so a threat to freedom. Only the vigilant can maintain their liberties, and only those who are
constantly and intelligently on the spot can hope to govern themselves effectively by democratic procedures. A
society, most of whose members spend a great part of their time, not on the spot, not here and now and in the
calculable future, but somewhere else, in the irrelevant other worlds of sport and soap opera, of mythology and
metaphysical fantasy, will find it hard to resist the encroachments of those who would manipulate and control it.
In their propaganda today's dictators rely for the most part on repetition, suppression and rationalization - the
repetition of catchwords which they wish to be accepted as true, the suppression of facts which they wish to be ignored,
the arousal and rationalization of passions which may be used in the interests of the Party or the State. As the art and
science of manipulation come to be better understood, the dictators of the future will doubtless learn to combine these
techniques with the non-stop distractions which, in the West, are now threatening to drown in a sea of irrelevance the
rational propaganda essential to the maintenance of individual liberty and the survival of democratic institutions.
