From the memoirs of Otto Lais, a member of the German Infantry Regiment number one hundred and sixty-nine, it is observed that certain comments were made in relation to the Battle of the Somme which lasted between 1914-1916.
- A portion of the excerpt reads as follows:
<em>"Belt after belt was fire, 250 rounds - 1000 - 3000...18,000 rounds!"</em>
- In order to determine what he meant by this statement, it is important to read the protext, the text, and the statement in context.
- Hence the portions immediately before and after the statement relating to the number of bullets read thus:
<em>"The machine gunners were earning their pay today. Belt after belt was fired, 250 rounds - 1,000 - 3,000...The British kept charging forward. Despite the fact that hundreds are already lying dead in the shell holes to our front, fresh waves keep emerging from the assault trenches...18,000 rounds!"</em>
Then there is the last sentence from that excerpt:
"<em>The youth of England bled to death in front of Serre (our position)"</em>
- The report was one of bravery on their part and how they "dealt" with the English Army. Hence, the reference to bullet rounds was used to convey a sense of patriotism (Option D).
- If he meant to convey hatred, the document would have been filled with words describing the British army in such a manner.

Answer:
Orwell uses satire in this passage to:
c) to expose and condemn the corruption and character flaws of the pigs
Explanation:
"Animal Farm" is an allegorical novella by George Orwell. It was written as a criticism of the Soviet regime to which Russia was subjected by Stalin. Orwell himself was a democratic-socialist.
The excerpt we are analyzing here was taken from the final chapter of the book. It portrays a meeting between the pigs from Animal Farm and Mr. Pilkington. <u>The animals from the farm tried to establish a fair and equal society after expelling their human owner. However, after becoming the leaders of the new society, the pigs realized their position gave them advantages. Soon, they became more and more similar to humans. They began to exploit the other animals, creating a clear distinction between themselves and the others. They also began to trade with the very humans they once despised. In this excerpt, Pilkington is complimenting the pigs on the way they treat the animals that are below them in social hierarchy. The fact that a corrupt human is complimenting the pigs serves to expose the pigs' corruption and character flaws.</u>
