Question

read the passage from animal farm.
\you have heard then, comrades,\ he said, \that we pigs now sleep in the beds of the farmhouse? and why not? you did not suppose, surely, that there was ever a ruling against beds? a bed merely means a place to sleep in. a pile of straw in a stall is a bed, properly regarded. the rule was against sheets, which are a human invention. we have removed the sheets from the farmhouse beds, and sleep between blankets. and very comfortable beds they are too! but not more comfortable than we need, i can tell you, comrades, with all the brainwork we have to do nowadays. you would not rob us of our repose, would you, comrades? you would not have us too tired to carry out our duties? surely none of you wishes to see jones back?\
the animals reassured him on this point immediately.
which statement supports the idea that this passage is an allegory for totalitarian propaganda?
the animals agree that they do not wish to see jones back.
the animals want the pigs to sleep in the farmhouse beds.
the animals support the pigs decision to sleep an extra hour.
the animals do not complain about pigs in power breaking rules.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

To determine the statement supporting the passage as an allegory for totalitarian propaganda, we analyze each option:

  • The first option (animals not wanting Jones back) is about avoiding a previous ruler, not directly about propaganda or rule - breaking by the new power (pigs).
  • The second option (animals wanting pigs to sleep in farmhouse beds) is incorrect as the passage shows the pigs justifying their action, not the animals initiating the request.
  • The third option (animals supporting pigs sleeping an extra hour) is not relevant to the main idea of rule - breaking and propaganda in the passage.
  • The fourth option: In totalitarian propaganda, the ruling group (pigs here) bends rules for their benefit, and the populace (other animals) does not complain. The pigs break the rule about beds (by redefining it to justify sleeping in farmhouse beds) and the animals do not object, which aligns with how totalitarian propaganda can make the ruled accept the rulers' transgressions.

Answer:

The animals do not complain about pigs in power breaking rules.
