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. 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 context of "Animal Farm" as an allegory for the Russian Revolution. The expulsion of Jones (representing the old ruling class, like the Tsar in Russia) by the animals (representing the working class) mirrors the overthrow of the old regime in Russia. Mrs. Jones slipping out, Moses jumping, or animals racing back do not relate to the symbolic overthrow of a ruling power. Only the animals expelling Jones aligns with the revolution - like event that symbolizes Russia's political change.

Answer:

C. The animals expel Jones.
