What type of figurative language is the underlined portion? (Metaphor, simile, personification, symbol, or allusion?) What meaning does this figurative language provide in the passage? What TONE and MOOD does this figurative language create? Please help! I’m behind.

in this passage from "animal farm", by george orwell, the statement that best explains how boxer's response supports the author's purpose in writing an allegory is option b) orwell uses boxer's decision to avoid more carnage by working hard to show how the working class was manipulated. boxer and the other animals feel they are responsible for their carnage because napoleon uses propaganda to manipulate the animals of the farm.

explanation:

it is the background information on the characters and setting explained at the beginning of the story. the exposition will often have information about events that happened before the story began. the exposition is often the very first part of the plot.
