Question

the events in animal farm mirror the real - life events of the russian revolution and the birth of the soviet union. this aspect of the novel is an example of which literary technique?
○ irony
○ parody
○ reversal
○ ridicule

Explanation:

The question asks for the literary technique where Animal Farm’s events mirror the Russian Revolution. Parody imitates a subject for comic or critical effect, but the key here is the direct reflection of real events—though none of the options perfectly match allegory (the actual technique), among the given choices, parody is the closest as it involves imitating a real-world context. However, if forced to select from the options, parody is the intended answer here (note: the ideal term is allegory, but it’s not listed).

Answer:

parody
