Read the passage from chapter 2 of Animal Farm. But they woke at dawn as usual, and suddenly remembering the glorious thing that

had happened, they all raced out into the pasture together. A little way down the pasture there was a knoll that commanded a view of most of the farm. The animals rushed to the top of it and gazed round them in the clear morning light. Yes, it was theirs—everything that they could see was theirs! In the ecstasy of that thought they gamboled round and round, they hurled themselves into the air in great leaps of excitement. They rolled in the dew, they cropped mouthfuls of the sweet summer grass, they kicked up clods of the black earth and snuffed its rich scent. Then they made a tour of inspection of the whole farm and surveyed with speechless admiration the ploughland, the hayfield, the orchard, the pool, the spinney. It was as though they had never seen these things before, and even now they could hardly believe that it was all their own. Which excerpt from the passage uses imagery to describe the scene? “But they woke at dawn as usual . . . suddenly remembering the glorious thing that had happened.” “Yes, it was theirs—everything that they could see was theirs!” “They rolled in the dew, they cropped mouthfuls of the sweet summer grass, they kicked up clods of the black earth and snuffed its rich scent.” “It was as though they had never seen these things before, and even now they could hardly believe that it was all their own.”
