Ridicule is used to show the gullibility of the Russian citizens.
Explanation: The passage satirically mocks the animals’ (and thus the people’s) readiness to accept the pigs’ contradictions and propaganda. It highlights their naïveté and lack of critical thought. The other choices are less accurate: it’s not primarily a parody of the purges, not a reversal focused on Clover’s ideals, and not personification of Stalin’s inner thoughts.
