Questions: All the other male pigs on the farm were porkers. The best known among them was a small fat pig named Squealer, with very round cheeks, twinkling eyes, nimble movements, and a shrill voice. He was a brilliant talker, and when he was arguing some difficult point he had a way of skipping from side to side and whisking his tail which was somehow very persuasive. The others said of Squealer that he could turn black into white. -Animal Farm, George Orwell How do the key details in the passage develop the central idea that a persuasive speaker can make others believe anything, even lies? The details show that Squealer is forceful and argumentative. The details show that Squealer is attractive, which impresses the others. The details show why other animals might believe anything Squealer says. The details show that Squealer is a hard worker, which is why the others trust him.

The answer is: The details show why other animals might believe anything Squealer says.

While Squealer is described as a brilliant talker, the passage does not emphasize him being forceful or argumentative. Instead, it highlights his persuasive nature and ability to convince others.

The passage describes Squealer's physical appearance, such as his round cheeks and twinkling eyes, but it does not suggest that his attractiveness is the reason for his persuasiveness. The focus is more on his speaking abilities.

This option is correct because the passage emphasizes Squealer's persuasive skills, such as his nimble movements and shrill voice, which make him convincing. The statement that he could "turn black into white" suggests his ability to manipulate the truth and make others believe anything.

The passage does not mention Squealer's work ethic or suggest that his persuasiveness is due to being a hard worker. The focus is on his speaking skills and ability to persuade others.
