Question

which character responses best support the author’s purpose in chapter 7? check all that apply. the dogs see to it that napoleon’s orders are carried out. the humans do not believe that snowball destroyed the windmill. four pigs confess that they have been secretly meeting with snowball. the other animals find inspiration in boxer’s refrain, \i will work harder!\ when the animals think about snowball, they cannot sleep in their stalls. three hens claim that snowball incited them to disobey napoleon’s orders. when the hens learn that they have to give up their eggs, they become upset.

Explanation:

To determine which responses support the author’s purpose (likely related to themes like totalitarian control, confession/scapegoating in Animal Farm), we analyze:

• "The dogs see to it that Napoleon’s orders are carried out" shows enforcement of Napoleon’s rule (supports authoritarian control theme).
• "Four pigs confess that they have been secretly meeting with Snowball" shows scapegoating/Snowball as a false enemy, supporting the author’s critique of manipulation.
• "Three hens claim that Snowball incited them to disobey Napoleon’s orders" also uses Snowball as a scapegoat, reinforcing the manipulation theme.

Other options either relate to human disbelief (not character responses supporting author’s purpose re: animal farm dynamics), Boxer’s positive refrain (not aligned with the chapter’s darker themes), animals’ sleeplessness (not a key supportive action), or hens’ upset (more about their reaction, not supporting the author’s purpose of showing control/scapegoating).

Answer:

A. The dogs see to it that Napoleon’s orders are carried out
C. Four pigs confess that they have been secretly meeting with Snowball
F. Three hens claim that Snowball incited them to disobey Napoleon’s orders
