On the third sunday after snowball's expulsion, the animals were somewhat surprised to hear napoleon announce that the windmill was to be built after all. he did not give any reason for having changed his mind, but merely warned the animals that this extra task would mean very hard work, it might even be necessary to reduce their rations. the plans, however, had all been prepared, down to the last detail. a special committee of pigs had been at work upon them for the past three weeks. the building of the windmill, with various other improvements, was expected to take two years. that evening squealer explained privately to the other animals that napoleon had never in reality been opposed to the windmill. on the contrary, it was he who had advocated it in the beginning, and the plan which snowball had drawn on the floor of the incubator shed had actually been stolen from among napoleon's papers. the windmill was, in fact, napoleon's own creation. why, then, asked somebody, had he spoken so strongly against it? here squealer looked very sly. that, he said, was comrade napoleon's cunning. he had seemed to oppose the windmill, simply as a maneuver to get rid of snowball, who was a dangerous character and a bad influence. now that snowball was out of the way, the plan could go forward without his interference. this, said squealer, was something called tactics. he repeated a number of times, "tactics, comrades, tactics! " skipping round and whisking his tail with a merry laugh. the animals were not certain what the word meant, but squealer spoke so persuasively, and the three dogs who happened to be with him growled so threateningly, that they accepted his explanation without further questions. how does orwell use satire to achieve his purpose in this passage? select two options. he uses parody to show how dictators deflect blame to others. he uses the three dogs to parody the idea that loyalty will be rewarded. he uses reversal to show that dictators do not abide by their principles. he uses squealer's character to parody a naïve follower of a corrupt leader. he uses ridicule to make fun of how people are focused on economic gain.

Read the excerpt from "the love song of j. alfred prufrock." and indeed there will be time to wonder, “do i dare? ” and, “do i dare? ” time to turn back and descend the stair, with a bald spot in the middle of my hair— [they will say: “how his hair is growing thin! ”] my morning coat, my collar mounting firmly to the chin, my necktie rich and modest, but asserted by a simple pin— [they will say: “but how his arms and legs are thin! ”] do i dare disturb the universe? in a minute there is time for decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse. which lines indicate that the speaker is concerned about what others think of him?
