it makes it clear why boxer trusts snowball.
it explains why napoleon is threatened by snowball.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Snowball's expulsion doesn't focus on his future actions to advance the plot; the story shifts to Napoleon's rule. Eliminate.
• Option 2: After Snowball is expelled, Napoleon takes control as the new leader, driving the plot forward with his authoritarian rule. This fits.
• Option 3: The conflict is about Snowball's expulsion, not Boxer's trust. Eliminate.
• Option 4: Explaining Napoleon's threat is not the main way the plot advances; the key is the power shift to Napoleon. Eliminate.

Answer:

B. It propels Napoleon into the position of the new leader.
