Section 1 Excerpt from Animal Farm, by George Orwell A group of farm animals has staged a revolt against humans, running off the

farmer, Mr. Jones, and taking over the farm. The animals dream of a farm where all animals are equal, but after a few months, a group of pigs—led by Napoleon and Squealer—begin to take control. Paragraph 1. It was about this time that the pigs suddenly moved into the farmhouse and took up their residence there. Again the animals seemed to remember that a resolution against this had been passed in the early days, and again Squealer was able to convince them that this was not the case. It was absolutely necessary, he said, that the pigs, who were the brains of the farm, should have a quiet place to work in. It was also more suited to the dignity of the Leader (for of late he had taken to speaking of Napoleon under the title of “Leader”) to live in a house than in a mere sty. Nevertheless some of the animals were disturbed when they heard that the pigs not only took their meals in the kitchen and used the drawing- room as a recreation room, but also slept in the beds. Boxer passed it off as usual with “Napoleon is always right!”, but Clover, who thought she remembered a definite ruling against beds, went to the end of the barn and tried to puzzle out the Seven Commandments which were inscribed there. Finding herself unable to read more than individual letters, she fetched Muriel. Paragraph 2. “Muriel,” she said, “read me the Fourth Commandment. Does it not say something about never sleeping in a bed?” Paragraph 3. With some difficulty Muriel spelt it out. Paragraph 4. “It says, ‘No animal shall sleep in a bed with sheets,’” she announced finally. Paragraph 5. Curiously enough, Clover had not remembered that the Fourth Commandment mentioned sheets; but as it was there on the wall, it must have done so. And Squealer, who happened to be passing at this moment, attended by two or three dogs, was able to put the whole matter in its proper perspective. Paragraph 6. “You have heard, then, comrades,” he said, “that we pigs now sleep in the beds of the farmhouse? And why not? You did not suppose, surely, that there was ever a ruling against beds? A bed merely means a place to sleep in. A pile of straw in a stall is a bed, properly regarded. The rule was against sheets, which are a human invention. We have removed the sheets from the farmhouse beds, and sleep between blankets. And very comfortable beds they are too! But not more comfortable than we need, I can tell you, comrades, with all the brainwork we have to do nowadays. You would not have us too tired to carry out our duties? Surely none of you wishes to see Jones back?” Paragraph 7. The animals reassured him on this point immediately, and no more was said about the pigs sleeping in the farmhouse beds. And when, some days afterwards, it was announced that from now on the pigs would get up an hour later in the mornings than the other animals, no complaint was made about that either.

Answer:

The theme to the paragraph is the pig's need for control. The pig's want control and even though they talked about equality at first they took control later. Maybe this was their whole plan. The pig's take over actions in the paragraph show how the strong-minded and easily take over the weak-minded. I am sure the pig's are not the strongest animal but they can act like it.

Based on this excerpt, what can be inferred about Oliver’s neighbors?
vichka [17]
I have found the excerpt and the choices from another source. I will paste them below:

<span>They laughed at his wild excess of speech, of feeling, and of gesture. They were silent before the maniac fury of his sprees, which occurred almost punctually every two months, and lasted two or three days. They picked him foul and witless from the cobbles, and brought him home . . . . And always they handled him with tender care, feeling something strange and proud and glorious lost in [him]. . . . He was a stranger to them: no one—not even Eliza—ever called him by his first name. He was—and remained thereafter—"Mister" Gant. . . . 

</span>A. They spread gossip about his unusual conduct.
B. They consider him a talented man and good friend.
C. They think he is a bit peculiar, yet they revere him.
D. They worry about his excessive behaviors.

The excerpt would tell us that Oliver's neighbors (C) think he is a bit peculiar, yet they revere him.

We know that the neighbors think Oliver is peculiar or strange through the first half of the excerpt and from the line "he was a stranger to them". Despite this strangeness though, we can also infer that the neighbors revere or deeply respect him because they still "handled him with tender care".
