Explanation:

Question 12

In "1984", Parsons is a foil to Winston as he fully embraces Party ideology without question, contrasting Winston's doubts. Option A is incorrect (no indication he’s more intelligent), C is wrong (he doesn’t doubt), D is wrong (he doesn’t resist).

Mrs. Parsons’ children are disappointed because they want to participate in violent, Party - sanctioned activities (like hanging the enemy) and are denied, showing they crave such authority - approved violence. A is wrong (not about entertainment), B is wrong (not about parental approval), C is wrong (not political exclusion).

Orwell’s depiction of children in Chapter 2 shows the Party indoctrinates them from a young age (e.g., children reporting parents, being loyal to the Party), turning them into tools of the regime. A is wrong (Party doesn’t value innocence), B is wrong (no moral development encouraged), D is not the main point.

Answer:

B. Accepts Party ideology unquestioningly
