oxymoron
euphemism
allegory
personification

Answer 2

Animal Farm is a fictional story that is used to make a point about a real-life situation (in this case, the Russian Revolution of 1917). The term that best matches this idea is allegory.

The other terms don't quite fit
- oxymoron: two or more contradictory words/ideas put together
- euphemism: a lighter expression of a dark/unpleasant idea
- personification: giving human qualities to non-human objects (you could argue that the book *uses* personification, but I wouldn't describe the whole book as personification)
