MCQs on the language in Animal Farm by George Orwell.

Language choice is one of the most fascinating aspects of Animal Farm. Deceptively simple language conveys the bewildering means by which a new utopia develops into another terrifying and oppressive regime. Napoleon and his propagandist Squealer, as well as the other pig leaders, use language as a weapon by changing history and obscuring the truth. In this passage, those who are less literate and therefore unable to use language with the same ease and for the same range of purposes are at a terrible disadvantage.
