Which statement is best supported by text evidence from
the excerpt?
General Clinton, concerned about what General Howe was
planning and doing, made use of a mask to write a secret
message in a letter to General Burgoyne.
Before writing the letter, Clinton had placed an hourglass-
shaped mask on a piece of paper and then had formed the
secret message within that shape.
o General Howe was embarrassed by his mistake.
General Clinton hoped that General Burgoyne could
help him.
The Americans read General Clinton's letter to General
Burgoyne.
The Americans did not have the mask to read General
Clinton's letter
The unmasked letter had enough false information in it to
fool any American who happened to see it. But when
Burgoyne viewed the letter with the mask, he read Clinton's
view of the real situation: Howe has made a bad move;
don't have enough men to do anything about it.

Read the passage from animal farm. "that was part of the arrangement! " cried squealer. "jones's shot only grazed him. i could show you this in his own writing, if you were able to read it. the plot was for snowball, at the critical moment, to give the signal for flight and leave the field to the enemy. and he very nearly succeeded—i will even say, comrades, he would have succeeded if it had not been for our heroic leader, comrade napoleon. do you not remember how, just at the moment when jones and his men had got inside the yard, snowball suddenly turned and fled, and many animals followed him? and do you not remember, too, that it was just at that moment, when panic was spreading and all seemed lost, that comrade napoleon sprang forward with a cry of 'death to humanity! ' and sank his teeth in jones's leg? surely you remember that, comrades? " exclaimed squealer, frisking from side to side. now when squealer described the scene so graphically, it seemed to the animals that they did remember it. at any rate, they remembered that at the critical moment of the battle snowball had turned to flee. but boxer was still a little uneasy. how does the characterization of squealer support the author’s purpose? squealer's dramatic accusations draw parallels between him and stalin’s propagandists. squealer's uncertainty shows that he is not a reliable ally of napoleon and is ineffective with messaging. squealer's ability to get the animals to listen to him shows that any animal can rise to be a leader in time. squealer's humble interactions with the animals reflect the importance of equality and cooperation.
