It was about this time that the pigs suddenly moved into

the farmhouse and took up their residence there. Again
the animals seemed to remember that a resolution
against this had been passed in the early days, and again
Squealer was able to convince them that this was not the
case. It was absolutely necessary, he said, that the pigs,
who were the brains of the farm, should have a quiet
place to work in. It was also more suited to the dignity of
the Leader (for of late he had taken to speaking of
Napoleon under the title of "Leader") to live in a house
than in a mere sty. Nevertheless, some of the animals
were disturbed when they heard that the pigs not only
took their meals in the kitchen and used the drawing-
room as a recreation room, but also slept in the beds.
Boxer passed it off as usual with "Napoleon is always
right!", but Clover, who thought she remembered a
definite ruling against beds, went to the end of the barn
and tried to puzzle out the Seven Commandments which
Which statement best describes how Boxer's

O Boxer's defiance shows how the working class
could not be swayed by propaganda.
O Boxer's acceptance shows how the working class
could be manipulated by those in power.

Boxer's response supports the author's purpose by showing how the working class could be manipulated by those in power. Boxer's agreement with Squealer and his statement of "Napoleon is always right!" demonstrates how the working class can be influenced to accept the decisions of their leaders, even when it goes against their own interests or beliefs. So the correct answer is C) Boxer's acceptance shows how the working class could be manipulated by those in power.
