Question
read the excerpt from animal farm and the passage on the history of the soviet union.
napoleon, with the dogs following him, now mounted on to the raised portion of the floor where major had previously stood to deliver his speech. he announced that from now on the sunday - morning meetings would come to an end. they were unnecessary, he said, and wasted time. in future all questions relating to the working of the farm would be settled by a special committee of pigs, presided over by himself. these would meet in private and afterwards communicate their decisions to the others. the animals would still assemble on sunday mornings to salute the flag, sing \beasts of england,\ and receive their orders for the week, but there would be no more debates.
in spite of the shock that snowballs expulsion had given them, the animals were dismayed by this announcement. several of them would have protested
how does the conflict in the animal farm excerpt relate to the events in the historical passage?
○ napoleon says that he and a special committee will make all the decisions, just as stalin and his highest party members made all the decisions.
○ the animals are unhappy with napoleons leadership style and want to rebel, just as the russian people under stalin wanted to rebel.
○ napoleon announces that he will bring together all the farms so that all the work and rewards are shared, just as stalin took over all the farms for the state.
○ the animals have to meet on sundays to show their commitment to napoleon, just as the people had to set sundays aside in honor of stalin.

To solve this, we analyze each option:
- Option 1: In the excerpt, Napoleon (representing Stalin) takes decision - making power with a special committee (like Stalin and his party members). The Animal Farm excerpt shows Napoleon ending Sunday - morning Meetings (where decisions were discussed) and having a special committee (of pigs, led by him) make decisions. This matches the historical context of Stalin and his highest party members making all decisions.
- Option 2: The excerpt says animals were dismayed but there's no indication they wanted to rebel. Under Stalin, while there were issues, the option's claim of Russian people wanting to rebel is not accurately reflected in the excerpt's parallel.
- Option 3: Napoleon's action is about centralizing decision - making, not about bringing together farms for sharing work and rewards. Stalin's collectivization is different from this context.
- Option 4: The animals meet on Sundays to salute the flag, sing, and receive orders, not to show commitment to Napoleon in the way the option describes (people setting Sundays aside for Stalin). The focus in the excerpt is on decision - making, not a Sunday - honoring ritual for Napoleon.
