he Egyptian word for "sun" was pronounced rah. He wrote down the first two letters of that sound, RA. Next he put a question mark for the unknown middle hieroglyph.

Which statement best summarizes the theme of this
natima [27]

Those in power may spread propaganda to further the  cause.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In Chapter Eight, it is uncovered that Napoleon is never again called by this name. Rather, he is given a proper title, "our Leader, Comrade Napoleon." Moreover, the pigs create extra names for him, similar to "Father of All Animals," "Fear of Mankind," "Defender of the Sheep-Fold," and "Ducklings' Friend." This "thoroughbred" of pigs is a sort, grandfatherly savant of progress.

Napoleon needs to ensure there is no dissent or insubordination to his requests. Notwithstanding Squealer's normal capacity to persuade, he has three awful pooches to back him up. y the finish of Animal Farm, pigs are strolling on two legs, Seven Commandments have gotten one, and the pigs demand to different people that all they needed from the start was "to live settled and in ordinary business relations" (10.27).
