After reading the excerpt from "Animal Farm" in which the commandment is changed, we can say we have an example of the following type of satire:
A. Reversal, because the commandment has changed in meaning.
<h3>What is reversal?</h3>
- The type of satire known as reversal happens when the author changes a situation, inverting the way things would normally be, usually with the purpose of making it absurd.
<h3>How is this excerpt an example of reversal?</h3>
- Originally, the commandment created by the animals living in Animal Farm was that all animals are equal. That was their aim - to create a society where animals were equal, treated fairly, and able to live freely and happily.
- However, with the new commandment, the situation has changed drastically. The pigs, who are the rulers of the farm, are now behaving like humans. They see themselves as superior to the other animals, and the commandment makes that clear.
- The situation has been so completely reversed that the animals are back to square one, as if they were still subjugated to humans, rather than ruling themselves.
With the information above in mind, we can choose letter A as the best option.

Answer:
Looking (#1)
Explanation:
Non-finite Verb
- Non-finite verbs function as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs or combine with a finite verb for verb tense.
- Non-finite verbs Include participles, Infinitives, gerunds, other verbs that don't change form when the subject changes.
Participle
- A verbal that is used as an adjective, describes a noun or pronoun, present participles always end in -ing, past participles usually end in -ed.
Gerund
- verb form acting as a noun - always ends in -ing.
Infinitive
- a verb form that is used as a noun, an adjective, or an adverb and is typically preceded by the word to.
Continuation:
Word: She (Pronoun)
- She is a pronoun. It's a noun that refers to another noun or noun phrase anaphorically, although it can't be preceded by a determiner and seldom accepts an attributive adjective. In English, examples are I, you, he, who, me, mine, and so on. It can also be used as a subjective or nominative pronoun. It is most commonly used to begin a statement. It is, however, rarely used as a noun.
Word: Was (Linking Verb)
- The word "was" is a verb, more precisely a linking verb, since it connects the subject to the section of the sentence that offers further information about the topic. Furthermore, this form of the verb "to be" represents a state of being.
Word: Looking (Present Participle)
- Looking is the present participle of look. A participle is a verb that ends in -ing (present) or -ed, -en, -d, -t, -n, or -ne (past) and serves as an adjective, modifying a noun or pronoun. A participial phrase is made up of a participle and one or more modifiers, objects, and/or complements (s).
Word: For (Preposition)
- When used to signify the usage of something, the place where an object or person is going, or the period of time, the word "for" is defined as a preposition.
Word: Her (Pronoun)
- Her is a pronoun in the third person singular. Her is the subject or object of a verb or a preposition. Her is a possessive determiner as well. You refer to a lady, a girl, or a feminine animal with her.
Word: Sister (Noun)
- This word is referring to someone's/something's female sibling. This word is a noun because a word that is a person, place, or thing is classified as this part of speech. The noun sister can be used as either a proper or common noun.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- After looking through this sentence, we can come to one conclusion. Since looking ends in -ing, it is classified as a gerund. Therefore, the word <u><em>looking</em></u> is a non-finite verb.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All the other words in the sentence are not considered or classified as non-finite verb as their word classifications do not match those of the description/definition given of what a non-finite verb is.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:
She was <u>looking</u> for her sister.
- NOTE: Verbs with tense are finite, and verbs without tense are nonfinite.
Answer:
The streets are unusually crowded.
Explanation:
"Warriors Don't Cry" by Melba Pattillo Beals is an autobiographical account of the Civil war and the anti racism movement of which she was a huge part. She along with some black men and women, displayed extreme courage and dedication to bring about change during the most turbulent of times in American history.
The given excerpt from the text shows a great deal of repetition where Beals talked of how many cars and traffic was there, with the "unusual" number of whites too. This repetition laid emphasis on the "unusually" crowded streets which never used to be before. This also led the narrator to fear but also at the same time, be aware of the changes that she and the the blacks had to endure.
