Question

every monday mr. whymper visited the farm as had been arranged. he was a sly - looking little man with side whiskers, a solicitor in a very small way of business, but sharp enough to have realized earlier than anyone else that animal farm would need a broker and that the commissions would be worth having. the animals watched his coming and going with a kind of dread, and avoided him as much as possible.
—animal farm, george orwell
which statement best identifies mr. whymper’s motivation for visiting the farm?
○ he is inspired by their rebellion and wants to learn from them.
○ he sees an opportunity to make money and wants to discuss business.
○ he is afraid of their power and wants to see what they have planned.
○ he is disturbed by how the farm is changing and wants to discuss the future.

Explanation:

From the text, Mr. Whymper realized Animal Farm needed a broker and the commissions (money) were worth having. The first option says he's inspired by rebellion (not supported). The third says he's afraid of power (text doesn't say that). The fourth says he's disturbed by change (text doesn't support). The second option matches as he sees a money - making opportunity and wants to discuss business.

B. He sees an opportunity to make money and wants to discuss business.
