All the animals remembered passing such resolutions:
or at least they thought that they remembered it. The
four young pigs who had protested when Napoleon

they were promptly silenced by a tremendous growlind
from the dogs. Then, as usual, the sheep broke into

awkwardness was smoothed over. Finally Napoleon
raised his trotter for silence and announced that he
had already made all the arrangements.

the animals

The statement that best explains the impact of the dogs (animal farm police force) growling in this passage is:

"It highlights the ways in which the animals are being silenced and controlled."

Growling, which is a low guttural sound in the throat, is a form of communication by predatory animals (for example, lion, bear, wolf, dog, cat, etc.).  It can communicate aggressive warning or hostility.  It can also be a sign of playful behaviors or mating tactics.  Predatory animals also use growling to indicate territorial protection.

The growling by the dogs was clearly an aggressive warning, depicting their hostility to the opposition raised by the four young pigs, who protested against Napoleon's leadership, especially the abolition of Meetings.  They were acting not differently from the actions of police men and women, who intimidate people to governmental submission.
