Answer:
When Orwell saw a kid whipping a horse, he had an idea: "It struck me that if only such animals became aware of their strength we should have no power over them, and that men exploit animals in much the same way as the rich exploit the proletariat."
Hello, Animal Farm.
On Orwell's Animal Farm-originally Manor Farm-different animals represent different members of the proletariat (working class) or the Russian communist regime. We won't take you through all the details here (see "Symbols, Imagery, Allegory" and the "Character Analyses" for the full lowdown), but the point is that Orwell picked the setting of the farm because it would work well as an allegory.
At the same time, Orwell includes little details like, "the birds jumped on to their perches, the animals settled down in the straw, and the whole farm was asleep in a moment" (1.20). There's no allegorical purpose to these images; they just give the setting a sense of completeness (although may not exactly realism).
But why an English farm rather than, say, a Russian farm? Well, Orwell wasn't just criticizing Stalin. He was also criticizing the myth of Stalinism that intellectuals all over the West believed. By setting it in England, he brought it that much closer to home
Answer:
C, Smothered verb
Explanation:
Process of elimination:
A: A modifier problem is where a word, phrase, or clause is misplaced in a sentence. The words are in the correct order in "They conducted an investigation." (e.g. when trying to describe that a potter sold all but some of his pottery, the sentence may be "The potter almost sold all of his pottery," when it should be "The potter sold almost all of his pottery,").
B: A dummy subject is something that does not specify what is doing a certain action in a sentence (e.g. "It's cold outside," What's cold outside?).
D: A redundant expression (more commonly known as a tautology) is restating the same thing in two different words (e.g. a sentence may be "during this period of time" where it should be "during this period" or "during this time").
A smothered verb is a noun that could have been a verb. In this example, the sentence is "They conducted an investigation," where the sentence should be "They investigated,".
The article mentions many ways in which the "tacit racial hierarchy" is visible in the movie, and one of them is the striking appearance of white and white-sounding characters in the center, and the limitation of the coloured caracters to the background, or even the complete lack of characters with very dark skin. This and similar ways in which the coloured characters are not given as much attention contribute racial inequality.
