Question

which character responses best support the author’s purpose in chapter 7? check all that apply. the dogs see to it that napoleon’s orders are carried out. the humans do not believe that snowball destroyed the windmill. four pigs confess that they have been secretly meeting with snowball. the other animals find inspiration in boxer’s refrain, \i will work harder!\ when the animals think about snowball, they cannot sleep in their stalls. three hens claim that snowball incited them to disobey napoleon’s orders. when the hens learn that they have to give up their eggs, they become upset.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option in the context of the author's purpose in Chapter 7 of Animal Farm (exploring manipulation, fear, and totalitarian control by Napoleon):

1. "The dogs see to it that Napoleon’s orders are carried out."

Dogs enforce Napoleon’s rule (fear/total control) – supports the purpose.

1. "The humans do not believe that Snowball destroyed the windmill."

Human disbelief is irrelevant to Napoleon’s manipulation of animals – does not support.

1. "Four pigs confess that they have been secretly meeting with Snowball."

Confessions (likely forced) show Napoleon’s use of fear to eliminate opposition – supports.

1. "The other animals find inspiration in Boxer’s refrain, 'I will work harder!'"

Inspiration from Boxer does not relate to Napoleon’s oppressive tactics – does not support.

1. "When the animals think about Snowball, they cannot sleep in their stalls."

Animal anxiety about Snowball is not a direct tool of Napoleon’s control – does not support.

1. "Three hens claim that Snowball incited them to disobey Napoleon’s orders."

Blaming Snowball (scapegoating) is part of Napoleon’s manipulation to justify control – supports.

1. "When the hens learn that they have to give up their eggs, they become upset."

Hens’ upset is about a specific order, not Napoleon’s broader control tactics – does not support.

Answer:

• The dogs see to it that Napoleon’s orders are carried out.
• Four pigs confess that they have been secretly meeting with Snowball.
• Three hens claim that Snowball incited them to disobey Napoleon’s orders.
