Answer 1

The detail from the passage that best supports the idea that the farm is a symbol for Russia and the events surrounding the Russian Revolution"Pre-eminent among the pigs were two young boars named Snowball and Napoleon, whom Mr Jones was breeding up for sale."This detail is significant because it parallels the roles of Leon Trotsky and Joseph Stalin, two key figures in the Russian Revolution. Snowball represents Trotsky, who was an influential leader and co-founder of the Soviet Union, while Napoleon represents Stalin, who eventually took control and became the leader of the Soviet Union. The fact that they were being bred up for sale by Mr. Jones (the farmer) further emphasizes the idea of manipulation and exploitation by those in power, similar to how the Tsarist regime exploited the Russian people before the Revolution.
