Read the passage from Animal Farm.

There was no thought of rebellion or disobedience in her mind. She knew that, even as things were, they were far better off than they had been in the days of Jones, and that before all else it was needful to prevent the return of the human beings. Whatever happened she would remain faithful, work hard, carry out the orders that were given to her, and accept the leadership of Napoleon. But still, it was not for this that she and all the other animals had hoped and toiled. It was not for this that they had built the windmill and faced the bullets of Jones's gun. Such were her thoughts, though she lacked the words to express them.

The detail that best supports the central idea that Clover is disappointed with the farm is:

“But still, it was not for this that she and all the other animals had hoped and toiled.”

This statement conveys Clover's discontent with the current state of affairs on the farm, indicating that the reality does not align with the hopes and aspirations the animals had when they initially sought freedom from human oppression.
