Question

read the excerpt from chapter 10 of animal farm. he had only one criticism, he said, to make of mr. pilkingtons excellent and neighbourly speech. mr. pilkington had referred throughout to animal farm. he could not of course know - for he, napoleon, was only now for the first time announcing it - that the name animal farm had been abolished. henceforward the farm was to be known as the manor farm - which, he believed, was its correct and original name. gentlemen, concluded napoleon, i will give you the same toast as before, but in a different form. fill your glasses to the brim. gentlemen, here is my toast: to the prosperity of the manor farm! there was the same hearty cheering as before, and the mugs were emptied to the dregs. but as the animals outside gazed at the scene, it seemed to them that how does orwell use satirical techniques to develop the theme that the abuse of language is part of the abuse of power? select the two options. orwell uses satirical ridicule when describing the pigs sharing a drink with the humans. orwell uses situational irony when napoleon criticizes mr. pilkington. orwell uses satirical reversal when napoleon and the pigs act against their stated principles. orwell uses dramatic irony when napoleon demonstrates government corruption. orwell uses verbal irony when animal farm takes on its original name, the manor farm.

Explanation:

1. For the option "Orwell uses satirical reversal when Napoleon and the pigs act against their stated principles": The pigs initially had principles against human - like behavior, but now they are acting like humans (sharing drinks, changing the farm's name back), which is a reversal of their stated principles, and this is a satirical technique to show abuse of power through language (changing the farm's name) and actions.
2. For the option "Orwell uses verbal irony when Animal Farm takes on its original name, The Manor Farm": The original name "Manor Farm" was associated with human rule, and the animals had changed it to "Animal Farm" to signify their independence. Now changing it back to "Manor Farm" is ironic as it goes against their original ideals, and this verbal irony is used to show the abuse of language (changing the name) as part of abuse of power.

The option "Orwell uses satirical ridicule when describing the pigs sharing a drink with the humans" is more about ridiculing the action but not directly about abuse of language. "Orwell uses situational irony when Napoleon criticizes Mr. Pilkington" - the criticism is not mainly about abuse of language. "Orwell uses dramatic irony when Napoleon demonstrates government corruption" - dramatic irony is not the main technique here for showing abuse of language as part of abuse of power.

Answer:

• Orwell uses satirical reversal when Napoleon and the pigs act against their stated principles.
• Orwell uses verbal irony when Animal Farm takes on its original name, The Manor Farm.
