Answer:
C). Parody compares the pigs with human leaders in the real world.
D). Exaggeration makes Pilkington seem ridiculous and similar to the pigs.
E). Satire creates an attitude of contempt for the pigs’ treatment of the other animals.
Explanation:
Satire is demonstrated as the literary device that employs irony, humor, overstatement, or ridicule to reveal and comment upon the follies or vices inherent in the society or an individual.
In the given excerpt from 'Animal Farm', Orwell's use of parody(imitation of a specific author or genre to intentionally exaggerate it and generate a comic effect) assists in establishing the comparison between the pigs and human leaders which critiques the foibles of the latter mockingly. Exaggeration helps in ridiculing Pilkington's foolishness that makes him look similar to the pigs. While <u>satire displays Orwell's disdainful attitude towards the manner in which the pigs(representing Pilkington) treat other animals('long working hours, absence of pampering')</u>. Thus, the satire assists in highlighting and critiquing the corruption and vices of the leader like Pilkington more effectively before the audience. Thus, <u>options C, D, and E</u> are the correct answers.

It establishes the foundation of transcendentalism. <em>Society and Solitude</em>, on the other hand, is a book by the same author. This collection of essays presents the idea that both isolation and company are necessary for the development and progress of people. In his first essay, Emerson suggest that suspicion of others is natural, but he does not state it especifically. He expands on this idea in the second work.
