Answer 1

"Orwell uses Boxer's decision to avoid more carnage by working hard to show how the working class was manipulated."

Explanation: After the violence on the farm Boxer doesn't question the leadership—he accepts slogans like "I will work harder" and trusts Napoleon—showing how the ruling class exploits workers' loyalty and labor rather than freeing them. This supports Orwell's allegory of how authoritarian leaders manipulated the working class.
