read the excerpt from chapter 5 of animal farm.
on the third sunday after snowball’s expulsion, the animals were somewhat surprised to hear napoleon announce that the windmill was to be built after all. he did not give any reason for having changed his mind, but merely warned the animals that this extra task would mean very hard work. it might even be necessary to reduce their rations. the plans, however, had all been prepared, down to the last detail. a special committee of pigs had been at work upon them for the past three weeks. the building of the windmill, with various other improvements, was expected to take two years.
the passage suggests that napoleon is motivated by a desire for control over the farm. which details from the text support this inference? select three options.
□ napoleon forces snowball to leave the farm by expulsion.
□ napoleon decides to help snowball build the windmill.
□ napoleon steals snowball’s plans and claims them as his own.
□ napoleon claims to have been an advocate of the windmill.
□ napoleon plans to modernize the farm to be more efficient.

Explanation:

1. Analyze each option:

• Option 1: Napoleon forces Snowball to leave the farm by Napoleon. This shows his control over Snowball's presence, supporting his desire for control.
• Option 2: Napoleon decides to help Snowball build the windmill. This does not show control; it shows cooperation, so it's incorrect.
• Option 3: Napoleon steals Snowball's plans and claims them as his own. This is an act of taking credit and controlling the project, supporting the inference.
• Option 4: Napoleon claims to have been an advocate of the windmill. By falsely claiming advocacy, he is trying to control the narrative and the project, supporting the inference.
• Option 5: Napoleon plans to modernize the farm to be more efficient. This is about efficiency, not directly about control, so it's incorrect.

Answer:

A. Napoleon forces Snowball to leave the farm by Napoleon.
C. Napoleon steals Snowball's plans and claims them as his own.
D. Napoleon claims to have been an advocate of the windmill.
