Question

Read the passage from Animal Farm.

Presently the tumult died down. The four pigs waited,
trembling, with guilt written on every line of their
countenances. Napoleon now called upon them to
confess their crimes. They were the same four pigs as
had protested when Napoleon abolished the Sunday
Meetings. Without any further prompting they
confessed that they had been secretly in touch with
Snowball ever since his expulsion, that they had
collaborated with him in destroying the windmill, and
that they had entered into an agreement with him to
hand over Animal Farm to Mr. Frederick. They added
that Snowball had privately admitted to them that he
had been Jones's secret agent for years past. When
they had finished their confession, the dogs promptly
tore their throats out, and in a terrible voice Napoleon
demanded whether any other animal had anything to
confess.

Answer 1

a) It shows similarities with Stalin's Great Purge and reveals how dictators use fear to control people.

Step-by-step explanation:

Like Stalin, who relies on the secret police to maintain control, Napoleon used the assault of his dogs to eliminate any challenge to his rule. One of the strongest analogies between Napoleon and Stalin has to do with the way the productivity at the Animal Farm plummets when Napoleon is in command.
