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 determine which character responses support the author’s purpose in chapter 7 (from Animal Farm), we analyze each option:

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

Napoleon uses the dogs as enforcers to maintain control, showing his authoritarian rule—supports the theme of tyranny.

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

This focuses on human skepticism, not Napoleon’s manipulation of the animals—does not support the author’s purpose (exploring animal oppression/propaganda).

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

Napoleon stages false confessions to eliminate dissent, illustrating propaganda and tyranny—supports the purpose.

1. “The other animals find inspiration in Boxer’s refrain, ‘I will work harder!’”

Boxer’s blind loyalty is tragic, but this shows compliance, not Napoleon’s manipulation (the chapter focuses on purges/propaganda)—less relevant to the chapter’s purpose.

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

This implies fear of Snowball, but the chapter’s focus is Napoleon’s purges/propaganda (not animal fear of Snowball)—does not support.

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

False confessions (blaming Snowball) are part of Napoleon’s propaganda to justify purges—supports the purpose.

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

This is about the hens’ reaction to a policy, not Napoleon’s manipulation via propaganda/purges (chapter 7 focuses on purges, not egg policy)—does not support.

• The dogs enforcing Napoleon’s orders shows authoritarian control.
• Four pigs’ false confession illustrates propaganda/tyranny.
• Three hens’ false claim (blaming Snowball) supports Napoleon’s manipulation.

Answer:

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