Question

read the passage from animal farm. all through that summer the work of the farm went like clockwork. the animals were happy as they had never conceived it possible to be. every mouthful of food was an acute positive pleasure, now that it was truly their own food, produced by themselves and for themselves, not doled out to them by a grudging master. with the worthless parasitical human beings gone, there was more for everyone to eat. which detail best supports the central idea that the animals felt pride in growing and supplying their own food? ○ \all through that summer the work of the farm went like clockwork.\ ○ \the animals were happy as they had never conceived it possible to be.\ ○ \every mouthful of food was an acute positive pleasure, now that it was truly their own food.\ ○ \with the worthless parasitical human beings gone, there was more for everyone to eat.\

Explanation:

To determine the best detail, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Describes farm work efficiency, not pride in food production.
• Option 2: States happiness but doesn't link to food production pride.
• Option 3: Directly connects the pleasure of eating to the food being their own (produced by themselves), supporting the pride in growing/supplying their food.
• Option 4: Highlights more food due to humans leaving, not pride in their own food production.

Answer:

C. "Every mouthful of food was an acute positive pleasure, now that it was truly their own food."
