<h2>Animal Farm</h2>
The statement that best explains the impact of the dogs growling in this passage is:
<em>"It highlights the ways in which the animals are being silenced and controlled."</em>
Growling, which is a low guttural sound in the throat, is a form of communication by predatory animals (for example, lion, bear, wolf, dog, cat, etc.). It can communicate aggressive warning or hostility. It can also be a sign of playful behaviors or mating tactics. Predatory animals also use growling to indicate territorial protection.
The growling by the dog was clearly an aggressive warning, depicting its hostility to the opposition raised by the four young pigs, who protested against Napoleon's leadership, especially the abolition of Meetings.
