Answer:

I'm not sure if this is a multiple choice question but the answer is " It compares two unlike things that have more than one thing in common"

Explanation:

In an analogy, the writer takes two different things and makes a connection with it. In order to make a connection, we should first find the similarity between the 2 different things. I'm not if this is okay but on this website it said that "In an analogy, you yoke together two unlike things (eye and camera, the task of navigating a spacecraft and the task of sinking a putt), and all you care about is their major similarities. The most effective analogies are usually brief and to the point—developed in just a few sentences."

The questions seeks to know how the different young mens and their fathers' personalities affected the events of the 2 stories. The commonality between the 2 stories is that they both involve young men who are worried about their fathers' disapproval of their wives.

Answer:

Orwell draws parallels between Mr. Pilkington and leaders of countries who overlooked Stalin's poor treatment of his people.

Explanation:

George Orwell's allegorical science-fictional novel "Animal Farm" revolves around the story of animals overtaking their human masters and having a government of their own. And in this story, the author also provides references or allusions to numerous historical figures in the depiction of the characters.

In the given passage from the novel, Orwell depicts Mr. Pilkington's character as a parallel to world leaders who overlooked Stalin's discriminating and poor treatment of his people. Just like the human farmers found the "most up-to-date methods, . . . a discipline and an orderliness which should be an example to all farmers everywhere", leaders of countries around the world 'accept' the treatment that Stalin 'gave' his people. And it was this characteristic that Orwell chooses to criticize through this scene, where the farmers decided to 'follow' Mr. Pilkington's method in bringing order to his farm. Orwell adds, "Indeed, he and his fellow-visitors today had observed many features which they intended to introduce on their own farms immediately."

Thus, the correct answer is the fourth/ last option.
