Question

Read the excerpt from chapter 6 of Animal Farm. Once again the animals were conscious of a vague uneasiness. Never to have any dealings with human beings, never to engage in trade, never to make use of money—had not these been among the earliest resolutions passed at that first triumphant Meeting after Jones was expelled? All the animals remembered passing such resolutions: or at least they thought that they remembered it. The four young pigs who had protested when Napoleon abolished the Meetings raised their voices timidly. What does the text suggest about the values of the animals on Animal Farm in the beginning? Select two options. The animals value a profit. The animals value freedom. The animals value nonconfrontation. The animals value humans. The animals value trading.

Answer 1

Answer:

This excerpt shows:

B) The animals value freedom.

C) The animals value nonconfrontation.

Explanation:r

At the beginning, the animals choose values that are supposed to distinguish them from humans. While humans only think of profit, only solve problems in a violent manner, they - the animals - would work only to feed themselves, would reach solutions by listening to everyone. Those were, at least, the initial values they thought they would follow. The excerpt shows those values when it mentions the animals' decision to never engage in trade and the four young pigs raising their voices timidly.

As we know, the story progresses to show that the pigs throw those values to the wind as soon as they realized how good it is to have power. "Animal Farm" was written to criticize the Soviet regime in Russia, the pigs representing the Soviet leaders, the other animals representing the Russian people.

Answer 2

Animals value freedom

The animals value a profit  

Answer: A & B

Explanation

Animals are never free; they, however, go as per the personal requirements.

They have no right to making any decision on the farm; thus, they do not have any say regarding anything that concerns them.

All things that animals do are for the benefit of a human being and not for themselves.

It is essential animals get a share of the profit from what they produce.

They always see how human nature takes advantage of them as they do not get anything back.
