Which of the following does Orwell use to link the parallel structures in this excerpt from Animal Farm?
A. correlative conjunction
B. coordinating conjunction
C. word to introduce a comparison
D. phrase to introduce a comparison
Answer:
What Orwell uses to link the parallel structures is a:
A. correlative conjunction.
Explanation:
A conjunction is a word that we use to connect other words, phrases, or clauses in a sentence. A correlative conjunction is basically a pair of conjunctions used to connect two ideas in a sentence. Examples of correlative conjunctions are: neither/nor; either/or; both/and; not only/ but also.
In the sentence extracted from Orwell's allegorical novella "Animal Farm", the correlative conjunction "either/or" is used to introduce the parallel structures "that food would become more plentiful" and "that the windmill would save work."
<em>He refused to believe </em><em>either</em><em> that food would become more plentiful </em><em>or</em><em> that the windmill would save work.</em>
