Question

how do the pigs alter reality to handle the food crisis?

Explanation:

In "Animal Farm", the pigs (led by Squealer) alter reality by manipulating the animals' perception. They change the commandments (e.g., "No animal shall sleep in a bed" becomes "No animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets") and use propaganda. For the food crisis, they falsify the farm’s production records (exaggerating yields) to make the animals believe there’s enough food, while the pigs secretly take more resources. They also blame external factors (like Snowball) or the animals’ "incompetence" to deflect from the mismanagement.

Answer:

The pigs (led by Squealer) alter reality during the food crisis by falsifying production records (exaggerating crop yields to make the animals believe food is abundant), using propaganda to blame external enemies (e.g., Snowball) or the animals’ "incompetence," and manipulating the commandments (rewriting rules to justify their privileged access to resources, like taking more food while convincing others it’s necessary for "leadership"). This deception maintains control and hides the true mismanagement of the farm.
