Question

there was no thought of rebellion or disobedience in her mind. she knew that, even as things were, they were far better off than they had been in the days of jones, and that before all else it was needful to prevent the return of the human beings. whatever happened she would remain faithful, work hard, carry out the orders that were given to her, and accept the leadership of napoleon. but still, it was not for this that she and all the other animals had hoped and toiled. it was not for this that they had built the windmill and faced the bullets of joness gun. such were her thoughts, though she lacked the words to express them.

○ \but still, it was not for this that she and all the other animals had hoped and toiled.\

Explanation:

To determine which detail supports Clover's disappointment, we analyze each option:

• The first option shows she has no rebellion, not disappointment.
• The second option shows her faithfulness, not disappointment.
• The third option ("But still, it was not for this that she and all the other animals had hoped and toiled.") indicates that the current state of the farm is not what they worked for, showing her disappointment with the farm's outcome.
• The fourth option is about her inability to express thoughts, not disappointment with the farm.

Answer:

C. "But still, it was not for this that she and all the other animals had hoped and toiled."
