Answer: it is true based on the facts provided

Explanation:

Looking at the facts the passage states about Orwell in 1984, what he examines about fear and emotions and how this is linked to control and power politicians use to hold on to power.

The emotions and fear present at that time are elements the people of power use to gain control of the power. The freedom of expression is sometimes bridged, people no longer have the confidence to express themselves, because of the fear that people of power would most likely get to them.

Present at that time, the use of police force is used by of power to carry out control and this ramps up people emotions and fear, the fear of not been harassed by the police, all this contribute to the fear they have over political be groups.

Yes the statement is true has it is evident that politicians use people fear and emotion to hold on onto power.
