Answer 1

The two propaganda techniques that this sentence best represents are:

1. Ad hominem attack - This technique involves attacking the opponent's character rather than addressing their policies or arguments. Referring to the opponent as a "monster" is a clear example of this.

2. Dehumanizing the enemy - This technique involves portraying the opponent as less than human, which can invoke feelings of fear or disgust. Calling someone a "monster" also dehumanizes them.

So the correct answers are:

• ad hominem attack
• dehumanizing the enemy
