Explanation:

This passage illustrates an incident that took place in the yard, as it started with a loud noise, all the animals went to see what happened. Therefore we know there were a lot of witnesses of the incident. Squealer was on the floor, next to a broken ladder, there was also paint, a lantern, and a brush. Above that scene, the Seven Commanmends were written.

All this evidence tells us that Squealer was trying to change or rewrite something related to the Seven Commandments in the wall. By reading the excerpt, we can see that the animals found the event incomprehensible, they were not able to reunite all those pieces of evidence and make a conclussion, no mattering that they were there. In a deeper sense, we can see that the modification of the Commandments means that the things stablished and seen as normal can be created by someone, making him favored by it. By witnessing this event, the animals had the chance to clearly see this but they were not able to.
