Answer:
I'm not sure if this is a multiple choice question but the answer is " It compares two unlike things that have more than one thing in common"
Explanation:
In an analogy, the writer takes two different things and makes a connection with it. In order to make a connection, we should first find the similarity between the 2 different things. I'm not if this is okay but on this website it said that "In an analogy, you yoke together two unlike things (eye and camera, the task of navigating a spacecraft and the task of sinking a putt), and all you care about is their major similarities. The most effective analogies are usually brief and to the point—developed in just a few sentences."

behave in a way so as to belittle or degrade....
The best answer here is A. If we refer to the text itself, we can see why. As the story progresses, the pigs start to think of themselves as superior to the other animals for one reason or another. In fact, they start to take on many of the characteristics of the humans they earlier touted as being evil and the reason for all their problems.
While the other animals might not have totally believed them, they went along with it because the society itself was equal. Each animal had its job to keep things running. However, because the pigs think themselves superior, they decide they should be the ones to rule and stop working. They also come up with a variety of rules that are supposed to exert their superiority over the other animals. However, at this point, there isn't much the other animals can do except grin and bear it and hope that it gets better.
