Explanation:
According to a different source, this question refers to the text "The Man in the Well" by Ira Sher. In this story, we learn about a group of children who find a man in a well, but decide not to help him, and instead, they tease him for days. The narrator tells the story as an adult, and he gives us several hints of the fact that he is embarrassed, such as the fact that he will never go close to the well again. Despite this embarrassment, the author succeeds in telling the story in a truthful way.

Answer:
Orwell uses satirical reversal when Napoleon and the pigs act against their stated principles.
Orwell uses verbal irony when Animal Farm takes on its original name, The Manor Farm.
Explanation:
Satirical techniques are those language techniques used by writers to make their stories or characters seem more or less of what they are and also present an image of what they are like. They may include elements such as irony, hyperbole, exaggeration, ,etc.
In the allegorical novel <em>Animal Farm</em>, George Orwell employs this technique to satirize the abuse of language and how it has been used to show an abuse of power. This is achieved through the <u>satirical reversal of roles or ideals where Napoleon and his 'follower' pigs act against their very own stated principles</u>. Moreover, he uses <u>verbal irony to bring about the name of the farm as Animal Farm from the original name of Manor Farm</u>. These two instances prove that the abuse of language is also part of the abuse of power.
