Read the excerpt from "Politics and the English Language" by George Orwell. Things like the continuance of British rule in India, the Russian purges and deportations, the dropping of the atom bombs on Japan, can indeed be defended, but only by arguments which are too brutal for most people to face, and which do not square with the professed aims of political parties. Thus political language has to consist largely of euphemism, question-begging and sheer cloudy vagueness.

What is George Orwell’s purpose in writing?

to inform readers of political events happening in his day
to inform readers of strong language used in political writing
to persuade readers that vague language is often used to soften harsh reality
to persuade readers that political speech should be softer and less specific
