Read the passage from Animal Farm."Our Leader, Comrade Napoleon," announced Squealer, speaking very slowly and firmly, "has stated categorically—categorically, comrade—that Snowball was Jones's agent from the very beginning—yes, and from long before the Rebellion was ever thought of.""Ah, that is different!" said Boxer. "If Comrade Napoleon says it, it must be right.""That is the true spirit, comrade!" cried Squealer, but it was noticed he cast a very ugly look at Boxer with his little twinkling eyes. He turned to go, then paused and added impressively: "I warn every animal on this farm to keep his eyes very wide open. For we have reason to think that some of Snowball's secret agents are lurking among us at this moment!"
Answer
A
He uses Boxer's response to show the importance and power of free speech.
B
He uses Boxer's response to show that propaganda is not always effective.
C
He uses Boxer's response to show how dictators control what others perceive to be true.
D
He uses Boxer's response to show that total obedience will always be rewarded.
Explanation
Boxer accepts Napoleon’s claim without questioning it: “If Comrade Napoleon says it, it must be right.” Squealer praises this unquestioning loyalty, then warns that Snowball’s agents may be hiding among the animals, encouraging fear and suspicion. Together, these details show how a dictator and his propagandist shape what others believe to be true; Boxer’s response does not demonstrate free speech or a guaranteed reward for obedience.
