The author is basically explaining that Gorillas re misunderstood by their behavior and looks.
There are several different ways to rewrite each sentence, but I'll just rewrite them two ways each.
Question 8.
- She took a dip in the ocean occasionally, since the water looked green and cool.
- The water looked green and cool, so she took a dip in the ocean occasionally.
Question 9.
- Everybody seemed to take it easy down South. What a wonderful winter vacation that was! (Only sentences I could think of)
Question 10.
- The memory of the trip lingered on when she went back to school the next day.
- When she went back to school the next day, the memory of the trip lingered on.
The best answer here is A. If we refer to the text itself, we can see why. As the story progresses, the pigs start to think of themselves as superior to the other animals for one reason or another. In fact, they start to take on many of the characteristics of the humans they earlier touted as being evil and the reason for all their problems.
While the other animals might not have totally believed them, they went along with it because the society itself was equal. Each animal had its job to keep things running. However, because the pigs think themselves superior, they decide they should be the ones to rule and stop working. They also come up with a variety of rules that are supposed to exert their superiority over the other animals. However, at this point, there isn't much the other animals can do except grin and bear it and hope that it gets better.
