Question

they were so delighted with the song that they sang it right through five times in succession, and might have continued singing it all night if they had not been interrupted. unfortunately, the uproar awoke mr. jones, who sprang out of bed, making sure that there was a fox in the yard. he seized the gun which always stood in a corner of his bedroom, and let fly a charge of number 6 shot into the darkness. the pellets buried themselves in the wall of the barn and the meeting broke up hurriedly. which historical event is this passage most reminiscent of? bloody sunday the bolshevik revolution the rise of lenin collectivization

Explanation:

This passage is from Animal Farm. In the story, Mr. Jones represents the old regime. The animals' gathering and then being interrupted by Mr. Jones with violence is similar to Bloody Sunday. On Bloody Sunday (January 9, 1905), peaceful protesters in St. Petersburg were met with violent repression by the tsarist regime. The other options (Bolshevik Revolution was a successful overthrow; rise of Lenin was more about political ascent; collectivization was an economic - agricultural policy) are not as directly related to the violent interruption of a gathering as described.

Answer:

A. Bloody Sunday
