In George Orwell's novel 1984, the concept of an unperson refers to someone who has been erased from all official records and historical documents, essentially eradicating their existence. This term reflects the oppressive nature of the totalitarian regime in the book, where individuals who pose a threat to the Party are systematically erased from history and memory.

      Cause the death of innocent people

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    Winston and Julia are not willing to be separated from one another for the Brotherhood. This suggests that their love for each other is stronger than their commitment to the cause. They are willing to die, commit murder, and cause the death of innocent people, but being separated from each other is a sacrifice they are not willing to make. This shows the depth of their love and the importance they place on their relationship.

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The given statement is false. Oceania, the country in which Winston lives, has not always been at war with Eastasia. In George Orwell's novel "1984," the three superstates, Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia, are in a constant state of war with each other. However, the alliances and enemies of these superstates change periodically. Therefore, Oceania may be at war with Eurasia or Eastasia at different times, but it has not always been at war with Eastasia.

      Mr. Charrington

    Correct Answer

He had pretended to be an old man running an antique shop where Winston and Julia had their secret meetings. However, it is later revealed that he was actually a member of the thought police, monitoring their activities and ultimately leading to their capture. This betrayal highlights the pervasive surveillance and control of the government in George Orwell's dystopian novel, "1984".

    • C. 

      Winston's neighbor

    • D.

    Explanation
    Ampleforth is described as an imprisoned poet. This suggests that he is someone who has been incarcerated and is also known for his skill in writing poetry. The fact that he is referred to as "imprisoned" implies that he is currently in jail or some form of confinement. This information helps to provide insight into the character of Ampleforth and his role within the story or context in which he is mentioned.

    Correct Answer
    C. His child turned him into the Thought Police
    Explanation
    Mr. Parsons is in prison because his child turned him into the Thought Police. This suggests that his own child reported him to the authorities for committing a thought crime, which is a punishable offense in the dystopian society depicted in the question. This implies a lack of trust and a surveillance state where even family members can betray each other for perceived violations of the ruling party's ideology.

By instilling love for Big Brother, the Party ensures complete loyalty and submission from its members.

    Correct Answer
    A. Behind a picture on the wall
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "behind a picture on the wall." This suggests that the telescreen, a device used for surveillance and monitoring, is cleverly concealed behind a picture in the room where Winston and Julia are staying. This hiding spot allows the telescreen to remain hidden from view while still being able to monitor their activities.

During his time there, Winston loses track of time and the exact duration of his imprisonment is not specified, but it is clear that it lasts for a considerable period of time.

    Explanation
    In George Orwell's novel 1984, O'Brien uses a cage filled with rats to get Winston to betray Julia. This method is a form of psychological torture known as "Room 101." O'Brien knows that Winston has a deep fear of rats and uses this fear to break his spirit and force him to betray his love for Julia. By threatening to release the rats onto Winston's face, O'Brien manipulates him into betraying his deepest beliefs and loyalty. This demonstrates the extreme measures the Party is willing to take to control and manipulate its citizens.

    Explanation
    Winston betrays Julia by suggesting that she should be tortured instead of him. This shows that he prioritizes his own well-being over hers and is willing to sacrifice her to protect himself.

      False

    Correct Answer

    Rate this question:

  • 33. 

    There is no mention of nuclear weapons in 1984.

    • A. 

      True

    • B. 

      False

    Correct Answer
    B. False
    Explanation
    The statement "There is no mention of nuclear weapons in 1984" is false. In George Orwell's novel 1984, nuclear weapons play a significant role in the dystopian world depicted. The concept of perpetual war between the three superstates is based on the threat of nuclear annihilation. The Party uses fear of nuclear war to maintain control over the population, and the protagonist, Winston, works in the Ministry of Truth where he alters historical records to fit the Party's propaganda, including reports about nuclear weapons. Therefore, the presence of nuclear weapons is indeed mentioned in 1984.

    It is difficult to find out where anyone lives in London because it is a large city with a diverse population and numerous residential areas.

      Miniguard

    • B.

In George Orwell's novel "1984," memory holes are used by the Ministry of Truth to dispose of any information or records that are deemed inconvenient or contradictory to the Party's ideology. These memory holes are connected to incinerators, where the documents are burned and destroyed. Therefore, the memory holes ultimately lead to the incinerator as a means of erasing any evidence that could challenge the Party's control over information and history.

By engaging with the prole, who represents the working class and therefore might have a different perspective on life before the revolution, Winston hopes to gain insight into the history and possibly find evidence that challenges the Party's version of events. This demonstrates Winston's rebellious nature and his desire to seek the truth.

      Makes him speechless

    • B. 

      Blinds him

    • C.

      Paralyzes him

    Correct Answer
    C. Temporarily blocks out part of his memory
    Explanation
    O'Brien uses a treatment on Winston that temporarily blocks out part of his memory. This means that Winston's ability to recall certain events or information is temporarily impaired or erased. It could be a form of psychological manipulation or mind control, where O'Brien wants to control Winston's thoughts and make him more compliant. By blocking out parts of his memory, O'Brien may be able to reshape Winston's beliefs and make him more susceptible to the Party's ideology. This treatment could be a way to break Winston's resistance and make him more obedient to Big Brother.

    • B. 

      Make speech more scientific

    • C. 

      Confuse the enemy
