5. What happened to the plans for the thing Snowball wanted to make?

Submit
6. Who said "Donkeys live a long time. None of you has ever seen a dead donkey."

Explanation

Old Benjamin said "Donkeys live a long time. None of you has ever seen a dead donkey." This quote reflects Old Benjamin's cynical and pessimistic nature. He often speaks in a negative and skeptical manner, and this statement is another example of his outlook on life. Benjamin's comment suggests that he believes death is inevitable for all living creatures, including donkeys, and he uses this observation to highlight the harsh realities of life on the farm.

Submit
7. Everyone listens to Napoleon.

Explanation

This statement suggests that everyone pays attention to or follows Napoleon. It implies that Napoleon has a significant influence or authority over others, and they respect his opinions or commands. Therefore, the correct answer is "True" as it aligns with the given statement.

Submit
8. Boxer assumed control after Snowball was expelled.

Explanation

The statement is false because it was Napoleon, not Boxer, who assumed control after Snowball was expelled. Boxer was a loyal and hardworking horse, but he did not have the ambition or intelligence to take over the leadership of the farm. Napoleon, on the other hand, was a cunning and power-hungry pig who seized control and established himself as the dictator of the farm.

Submit
9. Stalin:  Lenin's successor.  He did away with anyone who he perceived as a rival.  He led Russia to being one of the two greatest economic and military powers in the world.  Along the way, he caused millions of deaths.

Explanation

Napoleon is the correct answer because he is the character in George Orwell's novel "Animal Farm" who represents Joseph Stalin. Like Stalin, Napoleon eliminates anyone he sees as a threat to his power, leads the farm to become a powerful nation, and is responsible for causing numerous deaths. This comparison between Napoleon and Stalin highlights the theme of totalitarianism and the abuse of power in the novel.

Submit
10. Napoleon thought of the windmill idea.

Explanation

The statement claims that Napoleon thought of the windmill idea. However, this is not true. In George Orwell's novel "Animal Farm," it is actually Snowball who comes up with the idea of building a windmill on the farm. Napoleon, the main antagonist, opposes the idea and later takes credit for it when the windmill becomes a success. Therefore, the correct answer is false.

Submit
11. KGB:  Stalin's secret police who would kill peasants and small landholders who tried to keep the grain they grew.

Explanation

The dogs in this context refer to the secret police force of Stalin, known as the KGB. They were responsible for eliminating peasants and small landholders who attempted to withhold the grain they produced. This suggests that the dogs were used as a means of enforcing Stalin's policies and maintaining control over the agricultural sector.

Submit
12. Naive working class

Explanation

Boxer is the correct answer because in George Orwell's novel "Animal Farm," Boxer is a loyal and hardworking horse who represents the working class. He is naive and easily manipulated by the pigs, particularly Napoleon and Squealer. Despite his strength and dedication, Boxer is eventually betrayed and sent to the slaughterhouse, symbolizing the exploitation of the working class by the ruling elite.

Submit
13. Trotsky:  A political rival of Stalin after Lenin's death.  He was exiled from Russia, deported, and finally assassinated.

Explanation

Snowball is the correct answer because the given information about Trotsky being a political rival of Stalin after Lenin's death and being exiled, deported, and assassinated does not match any of the other options (Napoleon, Squealer, or Boxer). Snowball is a character from George Orwell's novel "Animal Farm" who represents Leon Trotsky. Both Snowball and Trotsky were initially popular and played a significant role in the revolution but were eventually ousted and became enemies of the ruling regime.

Submit
14. Lenin/Marx:  Lenin was the leader of a rebel group which took over after Czar Nicholas II abdicated (stepped down).  He based his government on the ideas of Marx which included "national ownership."  When he died, his body was preserved and put on display.

Explanation

Old Major is the correct answer because he is the one who initially inspires the rebellion on Manor Farm and introduces the principles of Animalism to the other animals. Old Major's ideas are based on the teachings of Karl Marx, similar to how Lenin based his government on Marx's ideas. Old Major's death before the rebellion takes place symbolizes the passing of the torch to the younger animals, who then carry out the revolution.

Submit
15. Everyone on the farm was...

Explanation

The answer "Equally divided" suggests that there was no unanimous agreement or consensus among the people on the farm regarding the plan. It implies that some individuals were in favor of the plan, while others were against it. This division indicates that there were differing opinions and perspectives among the people, leading to a lack of unity or consensus on the matter.

Submit
16.  Lenin's Propaganda Department

Explanation

Squealer is the correct answer because he is a character in George Orwell's novel "Animal Farm." Squealer is a pig who serves as Napoleon's propaganda minister and is responsible for spreading lies and misinformation to manipulate and control the other animals on the farm. He uses persuasive language and propaganda techniques to justify Napoleon's actions and maintain his power.

Submit
17. Which one of these was NOT one of the seven things that Old Major said animals must NEVER do?

Explanation

Old Major, in George Orwell's novel "Animal Farm," outlines the principles of Animalism and the rules that animals must follow. One of the seven things that Old Major said animals must NEVER do is to lie to another animal. This is because Animalism emphasizes the importance of equality, honesty, and trust among the animals. Lying would undermine these principles and create divisions within the animal community. By prohibiting lying, Old Major aims to establish a society based on fairness and cooperation.

Submit
18. Czar Nicholas II:  Sole leader of Russia in 1905.  He allowed a legislative body called the Duma to form to help with reform, but he dissolved the group three times because he did not like the direction in which it was going.

Explanation

Farmer Jones is the correct answer because the question is asking for the sole leader of Russia in 1905, and Farmer Jones is not a leader of Russia, but rather a character from George Orwell's novel "Animal Farm". The other options, Napoleon, Snowball, and Old Major, are also characters from "Animal Farm" and not relevant to the question.

Submit
19. Who runs Snowball off the farm?

Explanation

In George Orwell's novel "Animal Farm," Snowball is driven off the farm by Napoleon, who is a pig and one of the main antagonists in the story. Napoleon uses his power and manipulation to convince the other animals that Snowball is a traitor and a threat to the farm. Additionally, Napoleon uses his trained dogs to physically force Snowball to leave. Therefore, both Napoleon and the dogs are responsible for running Snowball off the farm.

Submit
20. Communism:  A political, economic, and social theory that is based on a collectivistic society in which all land and capital are socially owned and political power is exercised by one.

Explanation

In "Animal Farm," Animalism is the name given to the ideology adopted by the animals when they revolt against their human owner and seek to establish a society where all animals are equal, and all property is shared. The description of a collectivistic society where all land and capital are socially owned closely aligns with the principles of Animalism as depicted in the novel. This ideology is a direct allegory for Communism as practiced in the Soviet Union, which Orwell was critiquing through his narrative.
