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:

The author's purpose in Chapter 7 of Animal Farm is to show Napoleon's tyrannical consolidation of power, use of fear and false confessions to eliminate dissent, and the manipulation of the other animals.

1. The dogs enforcing Napoleon's orders demonstrates his use of force to maintain control, supporting the theme of tyranny.
2. The humans' disbelief about Snowball destroying the windmill highlights how Napoleon's propaganda is even absurd to outsiders, emphasizing his manipulation of the animals' perception.
3. The four pigs' false confession is part of Napoleon's purge to eliminate potential rivals and terrorize the other animals, a key part of his power grab.
4. The hens' claim that Snowball incited them to disobey is a false accusation manufactured by Napoleon to frame Snowball and justify punishment, showing his manipulation.
5. The hens becoming upset about giving up their eggs shows the cost of Napoleon's tyranny on the ordinary animals, supporting the critique of authoritarian rule.

The other options do not align: Boxer's refrain shows his blind loyalty but does not directly support the core purpose of showing Napoleon's tyranny/manipulation; the animals being unable to sleep over Snowball is a minor emotional reaction, not a key support of the author's purpose.

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