10.
Which George Orwell book is Island mostly paired with?
Correct Answer
D. Nineteen Eighty-Four
Explanation
Island is mostly paired with Nineteen Eighty-Four because both books were written by George Orwell and explore dystopian themes. While Animal Farm and Homage to Catalonia also touch on political and societal issues, Nineteen Eighty-Four is more closely related to Island in terms of its portrayal of a totalitarian society and the dangers of government control. Down and Out in Paris and London and The Road to Wigan Pier, on the other hand, focus more on Orwell's personal experiences and social commentary, making them less connected to Island thematically.
