Question

read the passage from chapter 1 of animal farm.
\and remember, comrades, your resolution must never falter. no argument must lead you astray. never listen when they tell you that man and the animals have a common interest, that the prosperity of the one is the prosperity of the others. it is all lies. man serves the interests of no creature except himself. and among us animals let there be perfect unity, perfect comradeship in the struggle. all men are enemies. all animals are comrades.\
at this moment there was a tremendous uproar.
what does the passage reveal about old major’s character? select three options.
□ he is decisive.
□ he is naive.
□ he is a persuasive speaker.
□ he is firm in his beliefs.
□ he is cowardly.

Explanation:

1. For "He is decisive": Old Major gives clear directives like "your resolution must never falter" and has a firm stance, showing decisiveness.
2. For "He is a persuasive speaker": His speech, with strong statements and calls for unity, is designed to persuade the other animals, indicating persuasive speaking.
3. For "He is firm in his beliefs": He strongly states that "Man serves the interests of no creature except himself" and insists on the unity of animals, showing firmness in his beliefs. "He is naive" is incorrect as his views are purposeful, not naive. "He is cowardly" is incorrect as he is advocating for a struggle, not showing cowardice.
