{'propaganda': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'unverified story': [0, 0, 0, 1], 'communication': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'term': [28, 1, 9, 27], 'political parties': [1, 0, 0, 2]}

The correct answer is option 1, which states that propaganda is an unverified story that is spread from one person to another.

Option 2, which states that propaganda is communication tailored to influence opinion, is also partially correct. However, it fails to capture the element of an unverified story being spread.

Option 3, which states that propaganda is an enthusiasm among a relatively large number of people for a particular innovation, is incorrect. This definition does not align with the concept of propaganda.

Option 4, which states that propaganda is a tool of oration used only by political parties, is incorrect. Propaganda can be used by various entities, not just political parties.

In summary, propaganda refers to the spread of unverified stories or information in order to influence opinion.
