Read the excerpt from chapter 6 of Animal Farm . It was about this time that the pigs suddenly moved into the farmhouse and took up their residence there. Again the animals seemed to remember that a resolution against this had been passed in the early days, and again Squealer was able to convince them that this was not the case. It was absolutely necessary, he said, that the pigs, who were the brains of the farm, should have a quiet place to work in. Why does Squealer tell the other animals that there is no resolution against the pigs moving to the farmhouse?
Answer
A
He wants to keep the other animals submissive.
B
He wants to remain calm and focused.
C
He wants the other animals to be angry.
D
He wants to get the pigs in trouble.
Explanation
Squealer denies that a resolution exists so the animals will accept the pigs’ move into the farmhouse without challenging their authority. By persuading them to doubt their memories and obey the pigs, he helps keep them submissive. The correct choice is “He wants to keep the other animals submissive.”
