Step-by-step explanation:

In the excerpt from George Orwell's "Animal Farm," Squealer makes use of biased information to encourage the pigs' political views and hide their real intentions. The reason is that they want to live comfortably and have privileges. However, they do not want the rest of the animals to realize that they are not like them in status. Thus, Squealer, who is good at persuading others, tells them that the wise pigs need to work quietly.
