Question

which character responses best support the authors purpose in chapter 7? check all that apply.
the dogs see to it that napoleons 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 boxers 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 napoleons orders.
when the hens learn that they have to give up their eggs, they become upset.

Explanation:

The author's purpose in Chapter 7 of Animal Farm is to show Napoleon's tyrannical consolidation of power, use of fear and false confessions to eliminate dissent, and the manipulation of the other animals.

• The dogs enforcing Napoleon's orders shows his use of force to maintain control.
• The pigs' false confessions and hens' false accusation of Snowball are part of Napoleon's purge to eliminate threats to his rule.
• The animals' inability to sleep when thinking of Snowball reflects the fear and paranoia Napoleon's regime creates.
• The humans' disbelief about Snowball destroying the windmill ties to Napoleon's propaganda framing Snowball as a scapegoat.

The other options do not support this core purpose: Boxer's refrain shows blind loyalty but not the key themes of tyranny/purge, and the hens being upset about eggs is a precursor to the purge, not a response that supports the chapter's main purpose of showing Napoleon's oppressive power grab.
