Answer 1

In 'Animal Farm' by George Orwell, Napoleon uses the phrase "Forget the milk, comrades!" to distract the other animals and assert control over the milk.

Step-by-step explanation:

In George Orwell's Animal Farm, the phrase used by Napoleon to divert attention from the milk, thus placing himself in front of the buckets is "Forget the milk, comrades!" By saying this, Napoleon subtly asserts control over the milk, which represents a valuable resource on the farm. This action is an early indication of the manipulation and control that would characterize his leadership on the farm, as he uses the idea of collective good to justify the appropriation of resources by the pigs.
