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 the correct options, we analyze the context of "Animal Farm" chapter 7. The author's purpose here involves showing Napoleon's use of fear (via dogs) and false confessions to consolidate power.

• "The dogs see to it that Napoleon’s orders are carried out" shows enforcement of Napoleon's rule.
• "Four pigs confess that they have been secretly meeting with Snowball" is a false confession to support Napoleon's narrative.
• "Three hens claim that Snowball incited them to disobey Napoleon’s orders" is also a false confession to frame Snowball.

The other options either show human disbelief (not supporting Napoleon's purpose), animal inspiration (opposite of the oppressive tone), animals being upset about eggs (about a different conflict), or inability to sleep (not related to supporting Napoleon's purpose).

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.
