Answer 1

Answer:

1. HE LIES TO KEEP THE OTHER ANIMALS FROM REBELLING
2. HE DOES NOT WANT TO LOSE HIS POSITION OF POWER AND COMFORT
3. HE WANTS TO ENJOY PRIVILEGES THAT OTHER ANIMALS DO NOT HAVE.

Explanation:

Animal Farm is a novel published in 1945 by the English author George Orwell. The text tells us a story about a farm where many animals live; in a moment they want to rebel against the human owner to obtain freedom and live in a place where equality and happiness work to every animal. At the end of the story, things worked worse than when the human was in power because the pig’s group wants to control everyone. In the passage that we have in our exercise, we can see the end that we have already said: pigs seeing just for their advantages, while other animal species are suffering. At this respect we can identify THREE attitudes in Squealer’s (one of the pigs) actions:

1. HE LIES TO KEEP THE OTHER ANIMALS FROM REBELLING
2. HE DOES NOT WANT TO LOSE HIS POSITION OF POWER AND COMFORT
3. HE WANTS TO ENJOY PRIVILEGES THAT OTHER ANIMALS DO NOT HAVE

We can also say what Squealer and the other pigs are trying to do: have special living conditions and maintain their group in power and control the other animals. We can affirm that because we have already checked the context of the Squealer’s discourse, besides that we now know what Animal Farm talks about.

The other options do not apply to the context. Even the kind of animal that Orwell elected to symbolize the group of power –the pigs- is telling us a lot about what is he trying to say and where does he trying to point: corruption and bad egoist management of a society

• HE TRULY BELIEVES IN WHAT HE IS SAYING
• HE WANTS TO KEEP THE FARM RUNNING AS SMOOTHLY AS POSSIBLE
