Information dissemination and communication in a political environment had been made faster and easier with the advent of

Step 1: Analyze the question The question asks what has made information dissemination (spreading information) and communication in politics faster and easier. The key phrase is "advent of," meaning the arrival of something new.

Step 2: Explain the concept Political communication is how politicians, governments, and citizens share ideas, policies, and opinions. Over time, technology has changed how quickly this happens: from town criers and newspapers, to radio and television, and now to the internet.

Step 3: Evaluate each option

• A. Educated practitioners: Education improves the quality of communication, but it is not a new "advent" that makes communication faster.
• B. Press censorship: Censorship restricts and slows the flow of information, so it does the opposite.
• C. Government spokesmen: They have existed for a long time and only relay official positions. They do not make communication faster or easier by themselves.
• D. Social media: Platforms like Facebook, X (Twitter), WhatsApp, and Instagram let politicians, parties, and citizens share information instantly with large audiences. Examples include campaign messages, election updates, and the #EndSARS mobilisation in Nigeria.

Step 4: Answer Only social media is a modern development that fits "advent" and makes political communication both faster and easier.

Tip: In questions with the phrase "advent of" plus "faster and easier," look for the technological option. Also, eliminate options that mean restriction (like censorship) since they work against free flow of information.
