Which key details does Orwell include to support the central idea that Snowball is ruthless?
Select TWO options.
Read the passage from Animal Farm.
All the men were gone except one. Back in the yard Boxer was pawing with his hoof at the
stable-lad who lay face down in the mud, trying to turn him over. The boy did not stir.
"He is dead," said Boxer sorrowfully. "I had no intention of doing that. I forgot that I was
wearing iron shoes. Who will believe that I did not do this on purpose?"
"No sentimentality, comrade!" cried Snowball from whose wounds the blood was still dripping.
"War is war. The only good human being is a dead one."
"I have no wish to take life, not even human life," repeated Boxer, and his eyes were full of tears.

How does the central idea of this passage—that older generations are less excited about rebellion
than younger ones—serve as social commentary?
Read the passage from Animal Farm.
Old Benjamin, the donkey, seemed quite unchanged since the Rebellion. He did his work in the
same slow obstinate way as he had done it in Jones's time, never shirking and never volunteering
for extra work either. About the Rebellion and its results he would express no opinion. When
asked whether he was not happier now that Jones was gone, he would say only "Donkeys live a
long time. None of you has ever seen a dead donkey," and the others had to be content with this
cryptic answer.
-
It shows how rebellions are always led by younger generations.
It demonstrates how society unfairly treats older people.
It demonstrates how society makes progress with each new generation.
It points out the overenthusiasm and zealousness of the younger generation. ✔✔D) It points out
the overenthusiasm and zealousness of the younger generation.
, Which prediction does this passage best support?
Read the passage from chapter 2 of Animal Farm.
The pigs had an even harder struggle to counteract the lies put about by Moses, the tame raven.
Moses, who was Mr. Jones's especial pet, was a spy and a tale-bearer, but he was also a clever
talker. He claimed to know of the existence of a mysterious country called Sugarcandy
Mountain, to which all animals went when they died. It was situated somewhere up in the sky, a
little distance beyond the clouds, Moses said. In Sugarcandy Mountain it was Sunday seven days
a week, clover was in season all the year round, and lump sugar and linseed cake grew on the
hedges. The animals hated Moses because he told tales and did no work, but some of them
believed in Sugarcandy Mountain, and the pigs had to argue very hard to persuade them that
there was no such place.
-
Moses and his stories will complicate the pigs' control over the other animals.
The pigs will adopt Moses's ideas and promote them on Animal Farm.
Moses will die and end up on Sugarcandy Mountain, thus proving its existence.
The animals will demand that Moses leave the farm and will force him out. ✔✔A) Moses and
his stories will complicate the pigs' control over the other animals.
Which quotation from this passage is the best example of foreshadowing?
Read the passage from chapter 2 of Animal Farm.
But at this moment the three cows, who had seemed uneasy for some time past, set up a loud
lowing. They had not been milked for twenty-four hours, and their udders were almost bursting.
After a little thought, the pigs sent for buckets and milked the cows fairly successfully, their
trotters being well adapted to this task. Soon there were five buckets of frothing creamy milk at
which many of the animals looked with considerable interest.
"What is going to happen to all that milk?" said someone.
