Explanation:

For the first question, the vivid imagery of the animals' hunger ("At last they could stand it no longer...help themselves from the bins") and the conflict (Mr. Jones and his men "with whips in their hands, lashing out in all directions") shows the animals' justification for rebellion as a response to their suffering. For the second question, a claim is a statement used to support or prove the thesis. The analysis explaining the meaning of evidence is a commentary, quotations from a source are evidence, and a sentence that grabs the reader's attention is a hook.

Answer:

First question: Vivid imagery of the animals' hunger and the ensuing conflict. Second question: a statement used to support or prove the thesis.
