Question

Which key details does Orwell include to support the central idea that Snowball uses his language skills to manipulate the other animals? Select four options.

Answer 1

Answer:

• "After much thought Snowball declared that the Seven Commandments could in effect be reduced to a single maxim, namely: 'Four legs good, two legs bad.'"
• "'A bird's wing, comrades,' he said, 'is an organ of propulsion and not of manipulation. It should therefore be regarded as a leg.'"
• "The birds did not understand Snowball's long words, but they accepted his explanation, and all the humbler animals set to work to learn the new maxim by heart."
• "When they had once got it by heart, the sheep developed a great liking for this maxim, and often as they lay in the field they would all start bleating 'Four legs good, two legs bad!'"

Explanation:

"Animal Farm" is a satyr novel that features the revolution of farm animals against humans. The book satirizes several political leaders at the time and their authoritarian and inefficient governments like Stalin, Napoleon, Hittles, among others.

Snowball is a white man who lives on this farm and represents Leon Trotsky, an opponent of the policy installed by Stalin. He is a strong speaker with a great ability to manipulate his listeners with heated speeches. We can see examples of this through the excerpts:

• "After much thought Snowball declared that the Seven Commandments could in effect be reduced to a single maxim, namely: 'Four legs good, two legs bad.'"
• "'A bird's wing, comrades,' he said, 'is an organ of propulsion and not of manipulation. It should therefore be regarded as a leg.'"
• "The birds did not understand Snowball's long words, but they accepted his explanation, and all the humbler animals set to work to learn the new maxim by heart."
• "When they had once got it by heart, the sheep developed a great liking for this maxim, and often as they lay in the field they would all start bleating 'Four legs good, two legs bad!'"
