Why were newspapers like Pravda useful in the Bolshevik movement?

Correct answer: They carried ideas and policies to the public

Pravda was useful because a political newspaper could communicate socialist arguments, party programmes, interpretations of events, and practical calls to action to workers and other readers. It helped the Bolsheviks spread their message beyond private meetings, build a shared political identity, criticise opponents, and mobilise support during strikes, demonstrations, and revolutionary crises. Such a newspaper functioned as an instrument of political education and propaganda. It was not limited to weather reports, did not promote worship of the Tsar, and had no purpose of hiding grain. Option A correctly explains its role in the movement.
