Question

It was about this time that the pigs suddenly moved into the farmhouse and took up their residence there. Again the animals seemed to remember that a resolution against this had been passed in the early days, and again Squealer was able to convince them that this was not the case. It was absolutely necessary, he said, that the pigs, who were the brains of the farm, should have a quiet place to work in.

Why does Squealer tell the other animals that there is no resolution against the pigs moving to the farmhouse?

He wants to keep the other animals submissive.
He wants to get the pigs in trouble.
He wants the other animals to be angry.
He wants to remain calm and focused.

Answer 1

He wants to keep the other animals submissive.

Squealer is manipulating their memories and reasoning to prevent dissent and maintain the pigs' control, so the animals won't object to the pigs taking the farmhouse.
