The correct answer is B) She ruled the bright clouds that gleam in the summer sky and caused them to pour their showers on meadow, forest, and mountains.

Explanation:

In the original sentence, the section "on meadow, forest, and where the mountains were" is grammatically incorrect because the element "where the mountains were" does not follow the same pattern that "meadow, forest". This makes the sentence to be more difficult to read and it interrupts the natural flow the sentence should have. In this context, to make the sentence correct and preserve the parallelism (consistency in structure) the best is to include only the word "mountains". This occurs in option B "on meadow, forest, and mountains."

Nutka1998 [239]

Hello!

----------

Your Answer:

North Korea and Kim Jong-il.

---------

Explanation:

Napoleon restricts his public appearances further to about once a month. He is said to eat separately from the other pigs, using the fine china. He also decrees that the gun be fired every year on his birthday. The animals now call Napoleon “our Leader, Comrade Napoleon.” Just as the animals attribute all misfortunes to Snowball, they now attribute all success and luck to Napoleon.

-------

Now, they were fed up with the dictatorship of their human master, and the animals of Animal Farm overthrew him and attempted to run the farm by themselves. Their original intentions were to value equality and carry on without the evil vices of human beings. The pigs were considered the most intellectual of the farm animals because they could read, write, and organize. The other animals became dependent upon the pigs since they organized the meetings, schedules, councils, laws, and responsibilities. The animals' dependence upon the pigs gave the pigs power.
