Read the passage from Animal Farm.

As Clover looked down the hillside her eyes filled with tears. If she could have spoken her thoughts, it would have been to say that this was not what they had aimed at when they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race.

What was most likely Orwell’s purpose for writing this passage?

to show that Clover is more sensitive to violence than the others
to remind readers of Major's speech and the original rebellion
to present Napoleon as a cruel leader unworthy of the animals’ support
to represent misled followers and their dashed hopes for better lives

to represent misled followers and their dashed hopes for better lives

Explanation: Clover’s tears and her reflection that this wasn’t what they had aimed for underscore the betrayal of the original revolutionary ideals and the animals’ ruined hopes rather than focusing on violence, a specific leader alone, or simply recalling Major’s speech.
