10)In your opinion are the pigs in Animal Farm more intelligent than all the other animals? What qualities enabled them to lead the others? Provide examples that support your answer.
I think that the pigs are more intelligent than the other animals because they know how to lead in an organised way and are manipulative. An example of this is when they start to create laws and rules to keep the animals in order.
