Question

1. what do the \unforeseen shortages\ on the farm suggest about the pigs regime? (page 62)

a. they are deliberately keeping supplies from the animals to maintain control.

b. they lack the foresight to keep up with the basics of running the farm.

c. they prioritize the well - being of the other animals over their own.

d. they fail to address the animals needs in their decision - making.

1. reread the following passage from page 64:

apoleon raised his trotter for silence and announced that he had already made all the arrangements. there would be no need for any of the animals to come in contact with human beings, which would clearly be most undesirable. he intended to take the whole burden upon his own shoulders.\

the words \undesirable\ and \burden\ suggest that napoleon wishes to be seen as...

a. powerful for strengthening the principles of animalism.

b. selfless for agreeing to take on something so unpleasant.

c. intelligent for using big words that they do not understand.

d. obstinate for deciding to do something that was advised against.

Explanation:

1. For the first question, in Animal Farm, the pigs' unforeseen shortages stem from their self-serving decision-making that ignores the other animals' essential needs, rather than deliberate hoarding, lack of foresight, or prioritizing others.
2. For the second question, Napoleon frames interacting with humans as "undesirable" and the task as a "burden" to present himself as making a sacrifice for the farm, aiming to appear selfless to the other animals.

Answer:

1. D. They fail to address the animals' needs in their decision-making.
2. B. selfless for agreeing to take on something so unpleasant.
