Answer Snowball is not adept at strategic thinking, while Napoleon is.

Explanation:

George Orwell's Animal Farm is an allegorical story based on the Russian Revolution that revolves around the themes of revolt, fight for freedom, corruption among the leaders, and the corrupting power that destroys everything. The use of the animals as representatives of the real events led to the success of the story, where Orwell perfectly presents the historical event in a rather somewhat hilarious yet serious tone.

In the given passage from Chapter V, the narrator mentions that the two probable candidates for the leadership over the animals on the farm- Napoleon and Snowball both have their vices. While Snowball used "his speeches" to win over the majority of the animals, Napoleon "is good at canvassing support" for himself. These two different qualities contrast each other, giving one superiority over the other in the different fields. This passage shows that Snowball lacks strategic thinking which Napoleon is good at.
