Question

which character responses best support the author’s purpose in chapter 7? check all that apply. the dogs see to it that napoleon’s orders are carried out. the humans do not believe that snowball destroyed the windmill. four pigs confess that they have been secretly meeting with snowball. the other animals find inspiration in boxer’s refrain, \i will work harder!\ when the animals think about snowball, they cannot sleep in their stalls. three hens claim that snowball incited them to disobey napoleon’s orders. when the hens learn that they have to give up their eggs, they become upset.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option based on the context of "Animal Farm" chapter 7 (Napoleon's purges to consolidate power):

1. "The dogs see to it that Napoleon’s orders are carried out."

The dogs enforce Napoleon’s will, showing his control (supports his purpose of maintaining power).

1. "The humans do not believe that Snowball destroyed the windmill."

Human disbelief doesn’t relate to Napoleon’s internal manipulation/purpose in the chapter. Eliminate.

1. "Four pigs confess that they have been secretly meeting with Snowball."

False confessions under coercion show Napoleon’s use of fear to eliminate dissent (supports his purpose).

1. "The other animals find inspiration in Boxer’s refrain, 'I will work harder!'"

Boxer’s loyalty is individual; this does not support Napoleon’s manipulative/purges-related purpose. Eliminate.

1. "When the animals think about Snowball, they cannot sleep in their stalls."

This focuses on animals’ fear of Snowball (blamed by Napoleon), but the key is Napoleon’s actions to control, not animals’ reactions to Snowball. Less direct. Eliminate.

1. "Three hens claim that Snowball incited them to disobey Napoleon’s orders."

False confessions (blaming Snowball) show Napoleon’s use of scapegoating to eliminate dissent (supports his purpose).

1. "When the hens learn that they have to give up their eggs, they become upset."

This is about a later conflict (egg surrender) not directly tied to chapter 7’s purges/manipulation. Eliminate.

• The dogs enforcing Napoleon’s orders, four pigs falsely confessing, and three hens falsely blaming Snowball all support Napoleon’s purpose of eliminating dissent and consolidating power through fear and manipulation in chapter 7. Other options relate to unrelated themes (human disbelief, Boxer’s loyalty, hens’ egg conflict) or less direct animal reactions.

Answer:

The correct options are:

• The dogs see to it that Napoleon’s orders are carried out.
• Four pigs confess that they have been secretly meeting with Snowball.
• Three hens claim that Snowball incited them to disobey Napoleon’s orders.
