Question

read the passage from chapter 1 of animal farm. \i have little more to say. i merely repeat, remember always your duty of enmity towards man and all his ways. whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy. whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend. and remember also that in fighting against man, we must not come to resemble him. even when you have conquered him, do not adopt his vices. no animal must ever live in a house, or sleep in a bed, or wear clothes, or drink alcohol, or smoke tobacco, or touch money, or engage in trade. all the habits of man are evil. and, above all, no animal must ever tyrannise over his own kind. weak or strong, clever or simple, we are all brothers. no animal must ever kill any other animal. all animals are equal.\ how does orwell use satire to support his purpose in this passage? he uses parody to reveal the cruelness of communist leaders. he uses ridicule to make fun of the beliefs of revolutionaries. he uses parody to make the working class seem silly. he uses exaggeration to make communism appear too simplistic.

Explanation:

Animal Farm is a satirical allegory. Orwell uses exaggeration to simplify the complex ideas of communism - here, the rules for animals are overly simplistic representations. He is not making fun of revolutionaries or working - class in this passage, nor is he using parody to reveal the "cruelness of communist leaders" as Animal Farm is a critique of the Soviet Union's deviation from communist ideals, not communism itself in a fair - minded way. The exaggeration makes the concept seem overly simplistic.

Answer:

He uses exaggeration to make communism appear too simplistic.
