    Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

    Which detail does Orwell include to support the theme that a lack of education can make a person easier to oppress? Which detail does Orwell include to support the theme that a lack of education can make a person easier to oppress? "The pigs had sent out a large bottle of pink medicine which they had found in the medicine chest in the bathroom, and Clover administered it to Boxer twice a day after meals." "If he made a good recovery, he might expect to live another three years, and he looked forward to the peaceful days that he would spend in the corner of the big pasture." "It would be the first time that he had had leisure to study and improve his mind." "He intended, he said, to devote the rest of his life to learning the remaining twenty-two letters of the alphabet."

    Answer:

    "He intended, he said, to devote the rest of his life to learning the remaining twenty-two letters of the alphabet".

    Explanation:

    First of all, it is necessary to specify that this question refers to "Animal Farm", a book that tells the story of farm animals that rebel against the farmer and try to manage the farm on their own, rejecting everything that comes from humans. The book deals with various themes such as tyranny, revolution, fascism, oppression and so on. One of these themes is the importance of access to education within a society and as the lack of education leaves the population vulnerable to oppression by tyrannical and inefficient leaders.

    This is because, the lack of education allows the government leaders of a country, or of a group, as shown in the book, to take advantage of people's ignorance and ingenuity, presenting themselves as good leaders and gaining popularity, while establishing a bad government. The book portrays this when the horse called Boxer, who had no access to education and does not even know the letters of the alphabet, is easily manipulated and controlled by the pig's dictatorial and facist leadership. In the phrase "He intended, he said, to devote the rest of his life to learning the remaining twenty-two letters of the alphabet," Orwell shows how Boxer understands his lack of education and intelligence and tries to learn the alphabet to reverse this situation.
