Why is reading a "positive escape"? in what ways is reading positive?

Speaking from experience & research;

Reading not only boosts your brainpower, but also has other side-effects. First and foremost, it is the number 1 positive escape, it relaxes you, passes time, and gives you an overwhelming sense of joy! (depending on the type of reader). Drugs are a negative escape, reading is a positive escape; that is where it comes from. Reading is said to "increase intelligence", but that's only if you read non-fiction (I'm a fiction book worm), but reading any book can boost your memory.

Have a nice day!

the answer is a :

explanation:

animal farm, written by george orwell, is a representation of russia after the revolution that led stalin to take over power.

in this excerpt, the central idea seems to be that the animals (a representation of society), when they believe to be working for a greater good and equality, are obedient and productive. they were convinced that, after expelling the owner (jones) from the farm, they would live in harmony and be fairly treated.

as we know, the pigs become the leaders and grow more selfish and dictatorial with time. in the end, they look and act in a way so similar to humans that it is impossible to tell the difference. the ideals of equality are shattered, and the farm turns out to be worse than it was before. the animals are manipulated with false propaganda and forced to work in order to enrich the pigs.
