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:

In Chapter 7 of Animal Farm, the author's purpose is to show Napoleon's consolidation of power through fear, scapegoating Snowball, and eliminating dissent. The dogs enforcing his orders establish his violent control. The forced confessions of pigs and hens frame Snowball as a traitor, justifying Napoleon's harsh rule and solidifying his authority over the other animals. The other options do not support this core purpose: the humans' disbelief is external to Napoleon's power play, Boxer's refrain shows blind loyalty rather than authoritarian control, the animals' sleeplessness is a minor reaction, and the hens' upset is about egg-taking, not the power consolidation focus of the chapter.

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.
