Question

read the passage from chapter 2 of animal farm. the pigs now revealed that during the past three months they had taught themselves to read and write from an old spelling book which had belonged to mr. joness children and which had been thrown on the rubbish heap. which prediction does this passage best support? the other animals will learn to read and write. the pigs will become more like the humans. mr. joness children will come for their books. the animals will find more things in the trash.

Explanation:

To determine the best prediction, we analyze the passage: the pigs taught themselves to read/write (a human - like skill).

• The first option is incorrect as the passage focuses on the pigs' learning, not the other animals.
• The third option is wrong because there's no indication the children will return for the book.
• The fourth option is not supported as the passage is about the pigs' learning, not finding more trash items.
• The second option is correct as the pigs acquiring a human - like ability (reading/writing) suggests they will become more like humans.

Answer:

B. The pigs will become more like the humans.
