Answer:
D) Corrupt leaders use propaganda to remain in power.
Step-by-step explanation:
George Orwell's "Animal Farm" is a story about the theme of revolution and the fight for authority first between animals and humans and then among the animals. This allegorical story touches the theme of a revolution which is symbolical of the Soviet Union's situation in its early stages.
In the given excerpt from chapter 6 of the text, the passage is from the speech given by Squealer, who is second in command to Napoleon, one of the proposed leaders of the animals. Through the use of verbal irony, Squealer, through his support for Napoleon, epitomizes the theme of leaders who are corrupt in their ways of attaining power. Through the constant use of propaganda as their major means of attaining and remaining in power, Squealer is the perfect example of this type of theme.
