    • C.

      Muriel

    Correct Answer

  • 2.

      Stalin and Trotsky

    Correct Answer
    C. Stalin and Trotsky
    Explanation
    The conflict between Snowball and Napoleon in the story relates back to the struggle between Stalin and Trotsky in Russian history. Just like Snowball and Napoleon, Stalin and Trotsky were both prominent figures in the Russian Revolution and had differing ideologies and leadership styles. Stalin eventually gained power and expelled Trotsky, mirroring the way Napoleon drives Snowball away from the farm. This parallel highlights the power struggle and ideological differences that existed between Stalin and Trotsky in Russian history.

    • B.

      Snowball

    • C.

      Napoleon

    Correct Answer
    B. Snowball
    Explanation
    Snowball is the correct answer because he is the character who spent much time after the initial rebellion trying to improve things on the farm and drew up plans for a windmill. Snowball is portrayed as an intelligent and visionary pig who wants to modernize the farm and make it more efficient. He believes that a windmill will provide electricity and improve the lives of all the animals. However, Napoleon, another pig, opposes Snowball's ideas and eventually drives him out of the farm, taking control for himself.

      Clover

    Correct Answer
    A. Benjamin
    Explanation
    Benjamin, the donkey, is the character who felt that life would go on as it always had, badly, with or without the windmill. Benjamin is known for his cynical and pessimistic outlook on life. He is skeptical about the changes happening on the farm and believes that nothing will truly improve the animals' conditions. Despite the hope and enthusiasm of other animals, Benjamin remains unconvinced that the windmill would make a significant difference. He is resigned to the idea that life will continue to be difficult regardless of any improvements or efforts made.

      Squealer

    • C.

      Minnimus

    Explanation
    Squealer is the correct answer because he is portrayed as a persuasive and manipulative character in George Orwell's novel "Animal Farm." Napoleon, the leader of the farm, sends Squealer to convince the other animals that his ideas and decisions are always correct. Squealer uses propaganda and misinformation to manipulate the animals and maintain Napoleon's power.

  • 9.

      Steal them from Mr. Pilkington.

    • B.

      Trade with humans.

    • C.

      Build an iron smelter.

    Correct Answer
    B. Trade with humans.
    Explanation
    Napoleon decides to trade with humans in order to obtain supplies like paraffin oil, iron, nails, and dog biscuits. This implies that he wants to establish a mutually beneficial exchange with humans, rather than resorting to stealing or building an iron smelter. This decision suggests that Napoleon recognizes the value of trade and cooperation, which aligns with his strategic and manipulative character in George Orwell's novel "Animal Farm".

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Because more time was committed to building the windmill, the animals had

    • A.

      Less food.

    • B.

      To work harder than before.

    • C.

      Both a and b

    Correct Answer
    C. Both a and b
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "both a and b" because when more time was committed to building the windmill, it means that the animals had less time to focus on producing food. As a result, they had less food available. Additionally, since they had less food, they had to work harder than before to compensate for the shortage and ensure their survival.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    Which commandment was changed after the pigs started working with Mr. Whymper?

    • A.

      #6- No animal shall kill another animal.

    • B.

      #2- Whatever goes upon 4 legs, or has wings, is a friend.

    • C.

      #4- No animal shall sleep in a bed.

    Correct Answer
    C. #4- No animal shall sleep in a bed.
    Explanation
    After the pigs started working with Mr. Whymper, the commandment that was changed was #4 - "No animal shall sleep in a bed." This is evident in the story when the pigs move into the farmhouse and start sleeping in beds, which goes against the original commandment.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Who is blamed for the destruction of the windmill and the other bad things that happen on Animal Farm?

    • A.

      Snowball

    • B.

      Mr. Frederick

    • C.

      Mollie

    Correct Answer
    A. Snowball
    Explanation
    Snowball is blamed for the destruction of the windmill and the other bad things that happen on Animal Farm. This is because Snowball is portrayed as a scapegoat by Napoleon, the leader of the farm. Napoleon uses Snowball as a way to divert attention from his own failures and to maintain control over the other animals. By blaming Snowball, Napoleon is able to maintain his authority and consolidate his power on the farm.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Why did Napoleon make the hens give up their eggs?

    • A.

      There were too many chickens on the farm.

    • B.

      So the pigs could have bacon and eggs for breakfast.

    • C.

      To buy food for the starving animals.

    Correct Answer
    C. To buy food for the starving animals.
    Explanation
    Napoleon made the hens give up their eggs to buy food for the starving animals. This suggests that there was a shortage of food on the farm, leading to starvation among the animals. By collecting the eggs from the hens, Napoleon could sell them or use them as a trade to acquire food supplies for the animals in need. This action demonstrates Napoleon's prioritization of the survival of the animals over the hens' ability to produce eggs.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    When the hens were told that they would have to give up their eggs, what did they do to protest? What was the outcome of this mini-rebellion?  In your answer include the two steps that the hens took to keep the pigs from taking their eggs and be sure to answer both parts of the question.  Your answer should be in paragraph form using complete sentences and proper spelling and grammar.  (5 points)

    Correct Answer
    C. The rebellion was over.

With the rebellion successfully crushed and Napoleon establishing himself as the sole leader, he wanted to erase any reminders of the animals' initial ideals and aspirations for a better life. By abolishing the song, Napoleon aimed to suppress any remaining rebellious sentiments and maintain his control over the animals.

This creates suspense and anticipation for the reader, as they wonder what will occur and how it will impact the story.
