Question

read the passage from chapter 2 of animal farm. mrs. jones looked out of the bedroom window, saw what was happening, hurriedly flung a few possessions into a carpet bag, and slipped out of the farm by another way. moses sprang off his perch and flapped after her, croaking loudly. meanwhile the animals had chased jones and his men out on to the road and slammed the five - barred gate behind them. and so, almost before they knew what was happening, the rebellion had been successfully carried through: jones was expelled, and the manor farm was theirs. for the first few minutes the animals could hardly believe in their good fortune. their first act was to gallop in a body right round the boundaries of the farm, as though to make quite sure that no human being was hiding anywhere upon it; then they raced back to the farm buildings to wipe out the last traces of jones’s hated reign. which detail supports the idea that the farm is a symbol for russia? ○ mrs. jones slips out unseen. ○ moses jumps off his perch. ○ the animals expel jones. ○ the animals race back.

Explanation:

To determine which detail supports the farm as a symbol for Russia, we analyze the historical context of the Russian Revolution (where the proletariat overthrew the ruling class). In "Animal Farm," Jones represents the old ruling class (like the Tsar in Russia), and the animals' expulsion of Jones mirrors the revolutionaries overthrowing the old regime.

• "Mrs. Jones slips out unseen" is about her fleeing, not the farm's symbolic meaning.
• "Moses jumps off his perch" is a minor action, not related to the farm - Russia symbolism.
• "The animals expel Jones" shows the animals (proletariat - like) taking over the farm (Russia - like) by removing the old ruler, matching the Russian Revolution's overthrow of the Tsarist regime.
• "The animals race back" is about their post - expulsion actions, not the symbolic takeover.

Answer:

C. The animals expel Jones.
