Twelfth night explores uncertainty and inconstancy in love. which set of lines in these excerpts from act ii, scene iv, shows that duke orsino considers men to be more easily swayed by passion than women? duke : too old, by heaven! let still the woman take an elder than herself; so wears she to him, so sways she level in her husband's heart. for, boy, however we do praise ourselves, our fancies are more giddy and unfirm, more longing, wavering, sooner lost and won, than women's are. … duke: there is no woman's sides can bide the beating of so strong a passion as love doth give my heart: no woman's heart so big to hold so much; they lack retention. alas, their love may be called appetite,— no motion of the liver, but the palate,— that suffer surfeit, cloyment, and revolt; but mine is all as hungry as the sea, and can digest as much: make no compare between that love a woman can bear me and that i owe olivia.

The set of lines that shows that Duke Orsino considers men to be more easily swayed by passion than women is this one: "For, boy, however we do praise ourselves, Our fancies are more giddy and unfirm, More longing, wavering, sooner lost and won, Than women's are."

The Duke, who is talking to Viola, is arguing that no matter how much men praise themselves, their "fancies" (their whims, their desires) are more "giddy" (more frivolous, more euphoric) and "unfirm" (more unsteady, since they are not firmly set), more "longing" (more craving), "wavering" (more quivering, more fluctuating), sooner lost and won (that is to say, temporal, brief, fleeting) that women's fancies. Because of this, they are more easily persuaded by passion, due to the intense, strong, enthusiastic, and uncontrollable nature of this feeling.    

given the fact that the question is about the detail that best support the idea that oppressive leaders use   propaganda to achieve thir goals,   the first option does not refer to any kind of propaganda, since it only tells about that the milk and the windfall apple should be reserved for the pigs. in the second option, that is, "snowball and napoleon sent out flights of pigeons whose instructions were to mingle with the animals on the neighbouring farms, tell them the story of the rebellion, and teach them the tune of "beasts of england". it can be identified that the oppressors make use of the propaganda, which is represented by the pigeons, and the information they have to tell other animals about what was happening in the farm in order to get their objectives. for that reason, the right answer is the second option, taking into account that the third option do not refer to propaganda since it only talks about that they did not want jones back. and, finally, the last option refers to the result of the given news, but it does not mean about the propaganda they used to achieve their goals.
