Read the excerpt from chapter 10 of Animal Farm.

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. For example, Squealer told them that the pigs had to expend enormous labours every day upon mysterious things called "files," "reports," "minutes" and "memoranda." These were large sheets of paper which had to be closely covered with writing, and as soon as they were so covered, they were burnt in the furnace. This was of the highest importance for the welfare of the farm, Squealer said.

Which part of this passage is an example of ridicule?

The pigs create reports and then burn them.
Squealer calls the other animals ignorant.
The pigs work tirelessly to organize the farm.
Squealer tells the animals about the farm’s organization.

❖ The correct answer choice is A. The pigs create reports and then burn them. This ridicule makes Squealer seem silly and these actions can be ridiculed.

The correct answer is A. The pigs create reports and then burn them.

Explanation:

The word "ridicule" refers to the action of mockery some action, behavior, etc. of a person or group of people usually because these absurd or do not make sense. Additionally, in literature, including the novel "Animal Farm" by George Orwell ridicule is used to create a critique about society or some group on it. In the case of the excerpt presented, the narrator describes one of the characters called Squealer that was a pig was in charge of supervising the farm, but besides this he did actions others did not understand such as writing files, minutes and other documents and then immediately burned them claiming it was for the welfare of the farm.

This detail is especially remarkable as this shows the use of ridicule as the author points out an action that does not make sense or that is absurd to criticize the way some governments and political leader act. Therefore, the part of the passage that is an example of ridicule is "the pigs create reports and then burn them".
