read the passage from chapter 5 of animal farm.
on the third sunday after snowballs expulsion, the animals were somewhat surprised to hear napoleon announce that the windmill was to be built after all. he did not give any reason for having changed his mind, but merely warned the animals that this extra task would mean very hard work, it might even be necessary to reduce their rations. the plans, however, had all been prepared, down to the last detail. a special committee of pigs had been at work upon them for the past three weeks. the building of the windmill, with various other improvements, was expected to take two years.
that evening squealer explained privately to the other animals that napoleon had never in reality been opposed to the windmill. on the contrary, it was he who had advocated it in the beginning, and the plan which snowball had drawn on the floor of the incubator shed had actually been stolen from among napoleons papers. the windmill was, in fact, napoleons own creation. why, then, asked somebody, had he spoken so strongly against it? here squealer looked very sly. that, he said, was comrade napoleons cunning. he had seemed to oppose the windmill, simply as a maneuver to get rid of snowball, who was a dangerous character and a bad influence. now that snowball was out of the way, the plan could go forward without his interference. this, said squealer, was something called tactics. he repeated a number of times, actics, comrades, tactics!\ skipping round and whisking his tail with a merry laugh. the animals were not certain what the word meant, but squealer spoke so persuasively, and the three dogs who happened to be with him growled so threateningly, that they accepted his explanation without further questions.

Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
1. For "He uses parody to show how dictators deflect blame to others": Napoleon (a dictator - like figure) changes his stance on the windmill and Squealer helps deflect the real reason by blaming Snowball, which is a parody of dictators shifting blame.
2. For "He uses reversal to show that dictators do not abide by their principles": Napoleon was against the windmill initially (or pretended to be) and then supports it, showing a reversal of his supposed principles, typical of dictators not following their own stated beliefs.
The other options are incorrect: The three dogs are used for intimidation, not to parody loyalty reward; Squealer is a persuasive follower, not indifferent; The passage is about political satire, not economic gain mockery.
# Answer:
A. He uses parody to show how dictators deflect blame to others.
C. He uses reversal to show that dictators do not abide by their principles.
