read the passage from chapter 10 of animal farm. some - how it seemed as though the farm had grown richer without making the animals themselves any richer - except, of course, for the pigs and the dogs. perhaps this was partly because there were so many pigs and so many dogs. it was not that these creatures did not work, after their fashion. there was, as squealer was never tired of explaining, endless work in the supervision and organisation of the farm. much of this work was of a kind that the other animals were too ignorant to understand. which theme is revealed by orwells use of situational irony in this excerpt? leaders should not be trusted. ideals can become mocked in practice. indifference can lead to corrupt governments. equality applies to all social classes.

Answer

Brief Explanations:

The passage shows that the farm's supposed ideals (like all animals being equal and prosperous) are not realized for most animals, only for the pigs and dogs. Situational irony is when the outcome is contrary to expectations. Here, the ideal of a prosperous farm for all animals (from the original Animal Farm ideals) is mocked as only pigs and dogs benefit. The other options: "Leaders should not be trusted" is too broad without focusing on the irony of the ideal vs reality. "Indifference can lead to corrupt governments" - there's no mention of others' indifference. "Equality applies to all social classes" is the opposite of what's shown (inequality exists).

Answer:

Ideals can become mocked in practice.
