Plsss not alot of time left......Read the excerpt from Animal Farm. Napoleon, with the dogs following him, now mounted on to the
raised portion of the floor where Major had previously stood to deliver his speech. He announced that from now on the Sunday-morning Meetings would come to an end. . . . In spite of the shock that Snowball's expulsion had given them, the animals were dismayed by this announcement. Several of them would have protested if they could have found the right arguments. Even Boxer was vaguely troubled. He set his ears back, shook his forelock several times, and tried hard to marshal his thoughts; but in the end he could not think of anything to say. Some of the pigs themselves, however, were more articulate. Four young porkers in the front row uttered shrill squeals of disapproval, and all four of them sprang to their feet and began speaking at once. But suddenly the dogs sitting round Napoleon let out deep, menacing growls, and the pigs fell silent and sat down again. What are the effects of Napoleon’s announcement?
Select two options.
The animals are surprised and dismayed
. Snowball runs out of the meeting and is expelled.
Boxer faithfully takes the news to be a good idea.
The animals are surprised and dismayed. AND Napoleon’s dogs threaten the pigs into silence.
The passage says, "the animals were dismayed by this announcement." It is clear from this quote and their behavior that they were both surprised and dismayed. The passage does not include and mention of Snowball running out of the meeting or Napoleon running after him. The description of Boxer setting back his ears and shaking his forelock shows that he is not taking the news to be a good idea. The pigs marshal up the courage to say something, but while they are talking, the dogs "let out deep, menacing growls" which cause the pigs to be quiet.
Dramatic irony is when the reader or audience knows something the characters do not. The main element of dramatic irony throughout the play is that we know that Romeo and Juliet are doomed, while of course the characters do not. Due to this, we already know that the two will fall in love.
