How does Orwell use satirical techniques to develop the theme that ideals can be corrupted in practice? Check all that apply.

Orwell ridicules the pigs’ selfish behavior, especially as they become like the humans they first opposed. The changing commandments and the final reversal of “All animals are equal” show leaders betraying the revolution’s original principles. The novel also parodies the Russian Revolution and the early Soviet Union by echoing their events and political figures. It does not suggest that communist ideals themselves caused the corruption; it satirizes how leaders distort those ideals.
