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:

In Chapter 7 of Animal Farm, Orwell’s purpose is to show Napoleon’s consolidation of power through fear, propaganda, and elimination of dissent. The dogs enforcing Napoleon’s orders demonstrate his use of force; the pigs’ false confessions (coerced by fear) and hens’ claims about Snowball (framing him as an enemy) serve to justify Napoleon’s tyranny and suppress opposition, directly supporting this purpose. The other options do not align: humans’ disbelief is irrelevant to Napoleon’s control, Boxer’s refrain reflects blind loyalty but not the author’s critique of power, animals’ inability to sleep is minor, and hens’ upset is a reaction rather than a tool of Napoleon’s manipulation.

Answer:

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
