In the excerpt above, the word "gyre" can best be understood to mean a spiral.
Answer: Option C.
Explanation:
The line ‘Turning and turning in the widening gyre. The falcon cannot hear the falconer’ is from the poem ‘The Second Coming’ which is written by William Butler Yeast’s. In the poem, the word ‘gyre’ refers to spiral or vortex which means s circular or spiral motion. The poet here describes a nightmarish scene where he sees that falcon turns into a widening gyre by making use of terrifying ritualistic language. William believes that the world is closer to revelation.
The promises of retirement, presented during the beginning of the animal revolution, is something that has become obscure in the animals' memory.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- In Chapter 9, the animals are already hopeless about the revolution they caused.
- This is because they continue to live oppressively, do not have access to the rights they were promised, and feel they are being exploited by the pigs.
- A proof of this is that the promises of retirement, which everyone received, were never fulfilled and are just a dark memory in everyone's mind.
This shows that the animal revolution took away an oppressive system to create another oppressive system, showing that whenever a single group is in power, oppression operates.
