i'm pretty sure it's "had argued"
a participle is a verb used as an adjective
Pacing is moving a story forward with a certain speed. So the correct answer should be slow. To slow a scene to the point of using a coma, add a lot of these. Since all of the sentences are relatively long with a lot of commas and all of that slows the tempo down.

Answer:
Orwell draws parallels between Mr. Pilkington and leaders of countries who overlooked Stalin's poor treatment of his people.
Explanation:
George Orwell's allegorical science-fictional novel "Animal Farm" revolves around the story of animals overtaking their human masters and having a government of their own. And in this story, the author also provides references or allusions to numerous historical figures in the depiction of the characters.
In the given passage from the novel, Orwell depicts Mr. Pilkington's character as a parallel to world leaders who overlooked Stalin's discriminating and poor treatment of his people. Just like the human farmers found the <em>"most up-to-date methods, . . . a discipline and an orderliness which should be an example to all farmers everywhere",</em> leaders of countries around the world 'accept' the treatment that Stalin 'gave' his people. And it was this characteristic that Orwell chooses to criticize through this scene, where the farmers decided to 'follow' Mr. Pilkington's method in bringing order to his farm. Orwell adds, <em>"Indeed, he and his fellow-visitors today had observed many features which they intended to introduce on their own farms immediately."
</em>
Thus, the correct answer is the fourth/ last option.
