Based on the historical context of the Great Purge, what is the best explanation of Orwell’s purpose in writing Animal Farm?

Animal Farm is an allegory of the Russian Revolution and the rise of Stalin’s dictatorship. The Great Purge involved arrests, forced confessions, and executions used to eliminate people seen as threats to Stalin’s power. Orwell used the animals’ story to expose how oppressive governments use violence and fear to control people, so the best choice is “He wanted to expose violent tactics used by oppressive governments.”
