Explanation:

Question 1

In "Animal Farm", during the Battle of the Cowshed, Snowball showed great bravery and strategic ability. He led the animals in the battle, was wounded but continued to fight, and used tactics to defeat the humans. He was at the front, inspiring and directing the other animals, even being shot by Jones but still pushing on with the fight.

During the battle, Napoleon was not on the front lines. He was in the barn, taking care of the puppies he was training (to be his personal guard later). This shows that Napoleon is a calculating, self - serving leader. He is more interested in consolidating his own power and ensuring his own safety rather than risking himself in the fight for the common cause of the animals. He is a leader who prioritizes his own interests and long - term power - grabbing over the immediate needs of the battle and the well - being of the group in the heat of conflict.

When Snowball and Boxer almost killed a human, Snowball's reaction was more practical and focused on the cause. He saw the necessity of fighting and didn't seem overly burdened by the act, as it was part of defending the farm. Boxer, on the other hand, was very distressed and remorseful. He was upset that he had almost taken a life, showing his kind - hearted and gentle nature. Snowball's reaction (being more matter - of - fact about the violence needed for the cause) shows he is a determined, somewhat ruthless (in a necessary - for - the - cause way) leader - in - the - making, while Boxer's remorse shows he is compassionate and has a strong moral sense against unnecessary harm.

Answer:

In the Battle of the Cowshed, Snowball was a brave and strategic leader. He led the animal forces, was wounded (shot by Jones) but continued to fight, using tactics to organize the animals and ultimately help defeat the human attackers. He was at the forefront, inspiring and directing the other animals in the battle.
