Read the passage from chapter 5 of Animal Farm B On the third Sunday after Snowball s expulsion the animals were somewhat surprised to hear Napoleon announce that the windmill was to be built after all He did not give any reason for having changed his mind but merely warned the animals that this extra task would mean very hard work it might even be necessary to reduce their rations The plans however had all been prepared down to the last detail A special committee of pigs had been at work upon them for the past three weeks The building of the windmill with various other improvements was expected to take two years That evening Squealer explained privately to the other animals that Napoleon had never in reality been opposed to the windmill On the contrary it was he who had advocated it in the beginning and the plan which Snowball had drawn on the floor of the incubator shed had actually been stolen from among Napoleon s papers The windmill was in fact Napoleon s own creation Why then asked somebody had he spoken so strongly against it Here Squealer looked very sly That he said was Comrade Napoleon s cunning He had seemed to oppose the windmill simply as a maneuver to get rid of Snowball who was a dangerous character and a bad influence Now that Snowball was out of the way the plan could go forward without his interference This said Squealer was something called tactics He repeated a number of times Tactics comrades tactics skipping round and whisking his tail with a merry laugh The animals were not certain what the word meant but Squealer spoke so persuasively and the three dogs who happened to be with him growled so threateningly that they accepted his explanation without further questions How does Orwell use satire to achieve his purpose in this passage Select two options He uses parody to show how dictators deflect blame to others He uses reversal to show that dictators do not abide by their principles He uses the three dogs to parody the idea that loyalty will rewarded He uses ridicule to make fun of how people are focused on economic gain 00
