Question

read the excerpt from chapter 6 of animal farm. 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. what do squealer’s actions in this passage suggest about his values? he values his own comfort. he values other animals’ opinions. he values the pigs’ leadership. he values the animals’ point of view.

Explanation:

To determine Squealer’s values, analyze his actions: the pigs move into the farmhouse (a comfortable space), and Squealer convinces the animals the earlier resolution against this didn’t exist. This shows he prioritizes the pigs’ (including his own) comfort by justifying their move, not valuing others’ opinions or the animals’ point of view (he dismisses their remembered resolution) or solely the pigs’ leadership in a self - less way—his action serves the pigs’ (and his) comfort.

Answer:

A. He values his own comfort.
