Despite the lack of a passage in this question, it is still possible to identify the option containing a subject of <em>ridicule.</em>
The correct answer is: Squealer calls the other animals ignorant.
"To ridicule" means to perform an action that undermines the reputation of someone or something in order to make them/it seem foolish. This is accomplished in the sentence as the subject, Squealer, humiliates the object, the other animals, by calling them "ignorant".
The correct answer among the choices that states the limit of the subject and the answer would be letter B. Intended purpose. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more if you have questions and further clarifications. Have a nice day to you
From the short story "Mother Tongue"written by Amy Tan: Growing up, Amy struggled with the feeling of being in two language zones; on the one hand she used the simple English with her mother, who spoke English in an unclear way , according to others, and on the other hand she used the English she learned at school which was more sophisticated. There were times when she felt embarrassed by her mother's use of English, especially when her friends could not understand what she was saying. But her mother knew English very well because she could read sophisticated books in English. It was only her delivery of the language that was lacking. Later in life, Amy came to accept the positive aspects that she learned from growing up in an immigrant family, from her mother, and be grateful for the teachings of her two worlds.
