Answer 1

The first three answers I think. I read this a month or two ago for k12. So I'm pretty sure it would be the first three. Hope I could help!

Answer 2

Answer:

• Orwell shows that, like the people of the Soviet Union, Clover experiences deep sadness about the violence.
• Orwell shows that Clover had hopes similar to those of Soviet peasants—that life would eventually improve.
• Orwell shows that Clover discovers she is mistaken in believing that the powerful would protect the weak.

Explanation:

Animal Farm was written at a time when class struggle and communism were in their booms. George Orwell, the author, in his own way, seeks to open the reader's eyes to the politics of his day, specifically to the communist ideals that were being distorted by self-appointed leaders. Through the characters in his book, Orwell takes the reader of Animal Farm to associate the narrative with historical facts related to the social influence of Karl Marx, the political life of Vladimir Lenin and the history of the Russian Revolution. Each character, if analyzed, tells part of what had happened during the period in which Stalin and Trotsky ruled the Soviet Union.

Following this reasoning and analyzing the excerpt, we can conclude that Clover, the mare, feels tremendous sadness because of what the revolution of the animals against the human race caused. The mare thought that the revolution would bring a better life for animals, where the stronger would protect the weakest, and it did not happened. Clover, represents the peasants and Soviet citizens who had hoped that their lives would be better after a revolution, but what happened was the opposite.
