Question

1918
they were so delighted with the song that they sang it right through five times in succession, and might have continued
singing it all night if they had not been interrupted.
unfortunately, the uproar awoke mr. jones, who sprang out of bed, making sure that there was a fox in the yard. he
seized the gun which always stood in a corner of his bedroom, and let fly a charge of number 6 shot into the darkness.
the pellets buried themselves in the wall of the barn and the meeting broke up hurriedly.
which historical event is this passage most reminiscent of?
○ bloody sunday
○ the bolshevik revolution
○ the rise of lenin
○ collectivization

Explanation:

The passage is from "Animal Farm" (context of 1918, farm setting, Mr. Jones as the old ruler, animals' meeting interrupted by his gunfire). The Bolshevik Revolution (October Revolution) overthrew the old regime (like Mr. Jones) to establish Soviet power, matching the theme of overthrowing an oppressive ruler. Bloody Sunday was a massacre in 1905, Lenin’s rise is broader, and collectivization was later. So the Bolshevik Revolution fits.

Answer:

B. the Bolshevik Revolution
