Question

read the passage from animal farm. as clover looked down the hillside her eyes filled with tears. if she could have spoken her thoughts, it would have been to say that this was not what they had aimed at when they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race. these scenes of terror and slaughter were not what they had looked forward to on that night when old major first stirred them to rebellion. if she herself had had any picture of the future, it had been of a society of animals set free from hunger and the whip, all equal, each working according to his capacity, the strong protecting the weak, as she had protected the lost brood of ducklings with her foreleg on the night of major’s speech. instead—she did not know why—they had come to a time when no one dared speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed everywhere, and when you had to watch your comrades torn to mark this and return how does clover’s response support the author’s purpose? select three options. orwell shows that, like the people of the soviet union, clover experiences deep sadness about the violence. orwell shows that clover had hopes similar to those of soviet peasants—that life would eventually improve. orwell shows that clover discovers she is mistaken in believing that the powerful would protect the weak. orwell shows that clover correctly believes that the rebellion and the takeover of the farm solved the animals’ difficulties. orwell shows that clover believes that all of the save and exit next submit

Explanation:

1. First option: The passage shows Clover is sad about the violence (scenes of terror and slaughter) which aligns with the idea of Soviet people's sadness about violence, supporting the author's purpose of drawing parallels.
2. Second option: Clover had hopes for a better future (free from hunger, equal, etc.) similar to Soviet peasants' hopes for improvement, so this supports the author's purpose.
3. Third option: Clover thought the strong would protect the weak but the current situation shows otherwise, so she realizes her mistake, which supports the author's commentary on power dynamics. The fourth option is incorrect as the rebellion/takeover did not solve difficulties (shown by the terror and slaughter), and the fifth option is cut off but from the visible part, it's likely incorrect.
