What of the students actions most makes them comparable to lemmings?

Lemmings are notorious for following the crowd, usually in the form of flinging themselves off a cliff. So, the best answer here is your third choice, snickering about Colin behind his back. Since it's saying that everyone is doing it, this implies that everyone is following the crowd by doing it.

The other answer choices don't make much sense. Knowing a lot about the Magna Carta or even everyone raising their hands or staring at their shoes doesn't imply any type of herd mentality. It implies that people are familiar with the subject or don't want to seem like they know the answer. All of these are normal reactions when in a classroom setting and even in a business setting.

Answer and Explanation:

The quote "all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others" was taken from Orwell's novella "Animal Farm". Even though "Animal Farm" criticizes Stalinist Russia, many of the flaws it points out can be noticed everywhere. We are constantly told we are all equal, that all human beings deserve to be treated with fairness in an unprejudiced manner. But, let's face it, some are "more equal than others".

As a woman, I've been through several moments when sexism was used to diminish me. I've been told plenty of times that I wouldn't understand something related to cars or to measuring houses simply because I was not a man. Still, I am more equal than a friend of mine, who is not only a woman, but a black woman. She was telling me the other day of the times she was followed around in department stores. Someone from the staff would watch her every move, afraid she would steal something. As I am white, that has never happened to me. It brought me to the sad realization that equality is still a utopia.

My dear Rakesh,

You will be glad to learn that I have taken admission in central school, Janakpuri. Life in the school is interesting and enjoyable. The school complex is in a huge and splendid building.

The school timings are from 9 in the morning to 4 in the evening. We go there by school bus so I am always punctual.

The Principal is very strict about punctuality. There are eight periods daily. We remain busy in all the periods except recess. The teachers are helpful and nice. They take so much interest in teaching us that I do not miss any period. There is very strict discipline about uniform, behaviour and cleanliness. There is a very good atmosphere in the school.

I have made many new friends. Atul is my best friend. We help each other in studies. How are you getting on your studies? You must be working hard. I often miss my old school and friends. Remember me to Sahith, Anuj and Sameer with lots of love and remembrance. Please pay my regards to your parents.

Yours Sincerely,

Prakash
