Read the excerpt from chapter 6 of Animal Farm. Afterwards Squealer made a round of the farm and set the animals’ minds at rest. He assured them that the resolution against engaging in trade and using money had never been passed, or even suggested. It was pure imagination, probably traceable in the beginning to lies circulated by Snowball. A few animals still felt faintly doubtful, but Squealer asked them shrewdly, "Are you certain that this is not something that you have dreamed, comrades? Have you any record of such a resolution? Is it written down anywhere?” Which statement best explains how the pacing in this passage helps reveal Squealer’s character? The quickening pace builds suspense about Squealer’s next course of action. The quickening pace shows how Squealer is similar to Snowball. The foreshadowing shows that Snowball and Squealer are actually very different. The slowing pace shows how Squealer controls the animals with propaganda.

A sentence after "is it written down anywhere?" it says and since it was certainly true that nothing of the kind existed in writing, the animals were satisfied that they had been mistaken"

Explanation:

So i don't know if you can use the sentence, but technically its still in the paragraph. Squealer is convincing the animals that they were wrong, and he is making them content with their being wrong. this tells you that squealer's character is bossy and he likes to have everyone else believe what he wants them to.
