Explanation:

Context clues is a technique that helps us infer the meaning of an unknown word by looking at the surrounding information of that word.

This technique can give us a general meaning of the word and should only be used when we do not need an exact meaning. Thus, this technique should not be used when the understanding of the passage depends on the definition of that unfamiliar word, when the same word is repeated several times and we don't have enough information to infer its meanings, and it should not be used when the word has several meanings because it can be confusing.

animal farm, written by george orwell, is a representation of russia after the revolution that led stalin to take over power.

in this excerpt, the central idea seems to be that the animals (a representation of society), when they believe to be working for a greater good and equality, are obedient and productive. they were convinced that, after expelling the owner (jones) from the farm, they would live in harmony and be fairly treated.

as we know, the pigs become the leaders and grow more selfish and dictatorial with time. in the end, they look and act in a way so similar to humans that it is impossible to tell the difference. the ideals of equality are shattered, and the farm turns out to be worse than it was before. the animals are manipulated with false propaganda and forced to work in order to enrich the pigs.
