Where is the sentence you are referring to in the question?
Answer:
Paying compliments to people can make us popular among them.
Explanation:
In the given sentence, the error is in the word "complement". "It is supposed to be "compliment" which means praising someone or something. Rather, "complement" is used which means to add to, to make it complete, to enhance, etc.
Looking at the sentence and the intended meaning of it, we can assume that the word "complement" will be replaced by "compliment".
Thus, the correct sentence is
<u><em>Paying compliments to people can make us popular among them.</em></u>
This question is missing the options. I've found them online:
How does Orwell use satire in this passage?
a) to present the opposite of the normal order of things
b) to mimic the situation directly to produce a comical effect
c) to expose and condemn the corruption and character flaws of the pigs
d) to exaggerate Mr. Pilkington’s kindness toward the animals on the farm
Answer:
Orwell uses satire in this passage to:
c) to expose and condemn the corruption and character flaws of the pigs
Explanation:
"Animal Farm" is an allegorical novella by George Orwell. It was written as a criticism of the Soviet regime to which Russia was subjected by Stalin. Orwell himself was a democratic-socialist.
The excerpt we are analyzing here was taken from the final chapter of the book. It portrays a meeting between the pigs from Animal Farm and Mr. Pilkington. <u>The animals from the farm tried to establish a fair and equal society after expelling their human owner. However, after becoming the leaders of the new society, the pigs realized their position gave them advantages. Soon, they became more and more similar to humans. They began to exploit the other animals, creating a clear distinction between themselves and the others. They also began to trade with the very humans they once despised. In this excerpt, Pilkington is complimenting the pigs on the way they treat the animals that are below them in social hierarchy. The fact that a corrupt human is complimenting the pigs serves to expose the pigs' corruption and character flaws.</u>
Scout says she doesn't mind being a ham for the performance, but the costume is not comfortable. Scout lists the many discomforts of her costume saying, "it was hot, it was a close fit; if my nose itched I couldn’t scratch, and once inside I could not get out of it alone." We know Scout wants to be as independent as possible, so her needing help to take off the costume is a major problem for her. This also hints that there may be a situation in which Scout's costume becomes problematic because she can't get out of it along. This literary device is foreshadowing - it's showing that some trouble might befall Scout because she can't get out of the ham costume.
