Answer:

The sentence which contains jargon is:

D. "The crest zone is the highest part of the reef."

Explanation:

Jargon refers to words or expressions that are employed in a particular field or area of knowledge and that are difficult for people in general to understand. For instance, if you are not a lawyer or a Law student, you will most likely find it difficult to keep up with a conversation between two attorneys. They will use expressions belonging to that area which are not commonly used in everyday conversations.

Among the sentences provided, the one that uses jargon is letter D. "The crest zone is the highest part of the reef." "Crest zone" is not an expression we use or hear every day. We know what it means because the rest of the sentence explains it, but it is still jargon.

What message is George Orwell sending in Animal Farm and how does he use satire to convey this message to his audience?

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

George Orwell is comparing the farm animals to the Soviet Union. He is trying to convey the idea of power and the demoralization that comes along with it. He communicates irony with the readers through the animals being 'punished' for being power hungry. The animals end up mistreating each other, due to their infatuation for authority. Satire is used to show the selfishness of the animals. The power makes them hypocrites for using the same punishments that they hated when they were used against themselves. Irony is shown through the denseness of the society they live in. The readers know a lot more about what is happening in the story, than the characters do.
