“Pre-eminent among the pigs were two young boars named Snowball and Napoleon, whom Mr. Jones was breeding up for sale.”

Answer 1

“Pre-eminent among the pigs were two young boars named Snowball and Napoleon, whom Mr. Jones was breeding up for sale.”

Explanation: the pigs’ names (Snowball and Napoleon) clearly allude to real Russian revolutionary leaders (Trotsky and Stalin), making the farm an allegory for Russia and its revolution.
