Use a pair of commas in the middle of a sentence to set off clauses, phrases, and words that are not essential to the meaning of the sentence. Use one comma before to indicate the beginning of the pause and one at the end to indicate the end of the pause.
Subjunctive mood is used to express wishes and possibilities, whereas on the other hand, indicative mood is used for facts. So let's go through all of these sentences:
1. I would go for a walk if it weren't raining - this is subjunctive. The form <em>weren't </em>used as a possibility is indicative of subjunctive mood. This person <em>wishes </em>he could go for a walk, but cannot because it is raining
2. I wish you continued at your job - this is also subjunctive. The form <em>continued is </em>is indicative of subjunctive mood. This person <em>wishes </em>something happened, but it didn't.
3. Brett wants Molly and Trent to study with him. - this is indicative. It is a fact that this person wants, so this is not subjunctive.
4. Coach recommends that we run two laps around the track. - this is subjunctive. The coach <em>wishes </em>something would happen - he is going to make his students to what he wishes them to do.
With verbs such as recommend, wish, suggest, demand, etc., subjunctive mood is used.
The main conflict in this excerpt is "Napoleon wants the animals to protect themselves. but Snowball wants to encourage revolts elsewhere," option D.
<h3>What is conflict?</h3>
When it comes to literature, we call conflict any friction or encounter between two opposing forces. There are several different types of conflict, but a common one is character versus character, which is precisely the one in this excerpt.
In the excerpt from "Animal Farm," we see a conflict between characters Napoleon and Snowball. Both are responsible for governing the farm, but they want different things. While Snowball wants to encourage the animals to revolt in other places, Napoleon wants them to protect themselves.
With the information above in mind, we can choose option D as the correct answer.
The missing excerpt for this question is the following:
Apart from the disputes over the windmill, there was the question of the defense of the farm. It was fully realized that though the human beings had been defeated in the Battle of the Cowshed they might make another and more determined attempt to recapture the farm and reinstate Mr. Jones. They had all the more reason for doing so because the news of their defeat had spread across the countryside and made the animals on the neighbouring farms more restive than ever. As usual, Snowball and Napoleon were in disagreement. According to Napoleon, what the animals must do was to procure firearms and train themselves in the use of them. According to Snowball, they must send out more and more pigeons and stir up rebellion among the animals on the other farms. The one argued that if they could not defend themselves they were bound to be conquered, the other argued that if rebellions happened everywhere they would have no need to defend themselves. - Animal Farm, George Orwell.
