This is because Snowball is portrayed as a scapegoat by Napoleon, the leader of the farm.

By abolishing the song "Beasts of England," which symbolized the rebellion and its ideals, Napoleon aimed to erase the memory and spirit of the rebellion. This would help him maintain power and prevent any future uprisings or challenges to his leadership.

    • They hated Napoleon.

    • Snowball had encouraged them to violate the ideals of animalism.

    Correct Answer
    A. Snowball had encouraged them to violate the ideals of animalism.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Snowball had encouraged them to violate the ideals of animalism. This answer is supported by the information given in the question, which states that the animals confessed to taking apples and milk from the pigs. This action goes against the principles of animalism, which promotes equality among all animals. Since Snowball is known for opposing Napoleon and his leadership, it is plausible that he would encourage the animals to violate the ideals of animalism.

    • Alliteration

    • Foreshadowing

    • Context clues

    Explanation
    The statement given by Squealer, "I warn every animal on this farm to keep his eyes very wide open. For we have reason to think that some of Snowball's secret agents are lurking among us at this moment!" is an example of foreshadowing. Foreshadowing is a literary technique where the author hints or suggests future events or outcomes in the story. In this case, Squealer's warning suggests that there may be some trouble or betrayal from Snowball's side in the upcoming executions, creating suspense and anticipation for the reader.

    • Napoleon

    Correct Answer
    A. Snowball
    Explanation

Benjamin believes that nothing really changes and that the animals will continue to suffer under the leadership of the pigs, regardless of whether the windmill is built or not.
