Question

Napoleon choosing to trade with neighboring farms is a sign of... *

Snowball's failure to increase trade and economic strength.
Mr. Jones' existing control over the farm.
mimicking the human behavior the animals criticized previously.
prioritizing relationships over the success of the farm.

Answer 1

Prioritizing relationships over the success of the farm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Honestly? I just can't see it being anything else. When I think of trading/buying with neighbors or locals, I immediately think, "oh, there supporting a fellow business/group/etc", instead of mimicking or trying to control.

Then again, if this is based off a class book, I may be missing details to support this since I don't read it myself.

Hope this helps!
