Your inquiry lacks the context regarding Clover's response from the book "Animal Farm" and therefore is incomplete. The complete question alongside the passage follows.
Read the excerpt from Animal Farm:
As Clover surveyed the hillside, tears welled in her eyes. If she could articulate her thoughts, they would reveal that this was not their intended outcome when they envisioned overthrowing the human race years ago. These scenes of brutal violence were not what they had anticipated during that night when old Major inspired them to revolt. In her mind, she envisaged a future where animals would be liberated from hunger and tyranny, all treated equally, contributing according to their abilities, and ensuring the strong protected the weak just as she had guarded the lost brood of ducklings with her foreleg on the night of Major's address. Instead—though she couldn’t pinpoint why—they had arrived at a moment where no one felt safe enough to express their opinions, fierce dogs prowled everywhere, and comrades were torn apart after confessing to horrendous deeds. Rebellion or disobedience was unthinkable to her. Despite the current state of affairs, she knew they were far better off than in Jones's time, and above all, preventing the humans' return was essential. Whatever transpired, she vowed to stay loyal, work diligently, follow the assigned orders, and accept Napoleon's leadership. Yet, this was not what she and the other animals had aspired to achieve, nor was it for this reason that they built the windmill and faced Jones's gunfire. Those were her thoughts, encapsulated without words.
How does Clover’s response reinforce the author's intent? Choose three options.
