Question

read the passage from chapter 2 of animal farm. mrs. jones looked out of the bedroom window, saw what was happening, hurriedly flung a few possessions into a carpet bag, and slipped out of the farm by another way. moses sprang off his perch and flapped after her, croaking loudly. meanwhile the animals had chased jones and his men out on to the road and slammed the five - barred gate behind them. and so, almost before they knew what was happening, the rebellion had been successfully carried through: jones was expelled, and the manor farm was theirs. for the first few minutes the animals could hardly believe in their good fortune. their first act was to gallop in a body right round the boundaries of the farm, as though to make quite sure that no human being was hiding anywhere upon it; then they raced back to the farm buildings to wipe out the last traces of which detail supports the idea that the farm is a symbol for russia? mrs. jones slips out unseen. moses jumps off his perch. the animals expel jones. the animals race back.

Explanation:

To determine which detail supports the farm as a symbol for Russia, we analyze the historical context of the Russian Revolution (where the people overthrew the ruling class, like the Tsar). The animals expelling Jones (the human ruler) mirrors the Russian people overthrowing their oppressive regime. Other options (Mrs. Jones slipping out, Moses jumping, animals racing back) don't relate to the symbolic overthrow of a ruling power.

Answer:

C. The animals expel Jones.
