Question

Animal Farm-what purpose is served by the production figures squealer reads to the animals?

Answer 1

(C.) Squealer reads the production figures to them, and they do not question the numbers.

Squealer reads the production figures to the other animals, who are unable to recall what food production was like in the time of Jones. They also do not have a reason to believe that Squealer is misrepresenting the numbers.

Answer 2

Squealer reads to the animals fake figures to make them feel better about their work and to confuse them from understanding why the crops are disappearing. He does this to hide the fact that the pigs are eating a majority of the food.
