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 chapter (likely from Animal Farm, where Napoleon's control and purges are key to the author's purpose of critiquing totalitarianism):

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

Napoleon uses dogs as enforcers, showing his authoritarian control—supports the author’s purpose (critiquing tyranny).

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

Human disbelief is irrelevant to Napoleon’s manipulation of the animals—does not support the author’s purpose here.

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

Forced confessions (part of Napoleon’s purge) highlight his use of fear/propaganda—supports the purpose.

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

Boxer’s blind loyalty is tragic, but this focuses on his naivety, not Napoleon’s tyranny directly—less central to the chapter’s purpose (purges/control).

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

This is vague; the chapter’s focus is Napoleon’s purges, not general anxiety about Snowball—does not support.

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

Forced accusations (part of the purge) show Napoleon’s manipulation of truth—supports the purpose.

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

This relates to earlier exploitation, not the chapter’s focus on purges/confessions—does not support the chapter’s purpose here.

• The dogs enforcing Napoleon’s orders shows his authoritarian control.
