Question

read the passage from chapter 2 of animal farm. napoleon was a large, rather fierce - looking berkshire boar, the only berkshire on the farm, not much of a talker, but with a reputation for getting his own way. snowball was a more vivacious pig than napoleon, quicker in speech and more inventive, but was not considered to have the same depth of character. all the other male pigs on the farm were porkers. the best known among them was a small fat pig named squealer, with very round cheeks, twinkling eyes, nimble movements, and a shrill voice. he was a brilliant talker, and when he was arguing some difficult point he had a way of skipping from side to side and whisking his tail which was somehow very persuasive. the others said of squealer that he could turn black into white. which excerpts from the passage use imagery to describe an animal? select two options. \with a reputation for getting his own way\ \but was not considered to have the same depth of character\ \all the other male pigs on the farm were porkers.\ \with very round cheeks, twinkling eyes, nimble movements, and a shrill voice\ \way of skipping from side to side and whisking his tail\

Explanation:

Imagery uses descriptive language to create sensory experiences. Let's analyze each option:

• "with a reputation for getting his own way": Describes reputation, not sensory details.
• "but was not considered to have the same depth of character": Describes character perception, no imagery.
• "All the other male pigs on the farm were porkers": States a fact, no sensory description.
• "with very round cheeks, twinkling eyes, nimble movements, and a shrill voice": Uses descriptive details (round cheeks, twinkling eyes, etc.) to appeal to sight and sound, creating imagery of Squealer.
• "way of skipping from side to side and whisking his tail": Describes movements (skipping, whisking tail) that create a visual image of Squealer's actions.

So the two options with imagery are the fourth and fifth.

Answer:

D. "with very round cheeks, twinkling eyes, nimble movements, and a shrill voice"
E. "way of skipping from side to side and whisking his tail"
