Read the passage from chapter 5 of Animal Farm.

That evening Squealer explained privately to the other animals that Napoleon had never in reality been opposed to the windmill. On the contrary, it was he who had advocated it in the beginning, and the plan which Snowball had drawn on the floor of the incubator shed had actually been stolen from among Napoleon's papers. The windmill was, in fact, Napoleon's own creation. Why, then, asked somebody, had he spoken so strongly against it? Here Squealer looked very sly. That, he said, was Comrade Napoleon's cunning. He had seemed to oppose the windmill, simply as a maneuver to get rid of Snowball, who was a dangerous character and a bad influence. Now that Snowball was out of the way, the plan could go forward without his interference. This, said Squealer, was something called tactics. He repeated a number of times, "Tactics, comrades, tactics!” skipping round and whisking his tail with a merry laugh. The animals were not certain what the word meant, but Squealer spoke so persuasively, and the three dogs who happened to be with him growled so threateningly, that they accepted his explanation without further questions.


What is Orwell ridiculing in this passage?

a.) He is making fun of the idea of pigs building something.
b.) He is making fun of leaders who tell lies to their people.
c.) He is making fun of people who question their leaders.
d.) He is making fun of pigs calling one another comrades.

Answer:

b) He is making fun of leaders who tell lies to their people.

Explanation:

In this passage, Orwell is making fun of the leaders who tell lies to their people. Orwell shows how Napoleon uses Squealer as a spokesperson, and how he is able to convince others to disregard the truth. Squealer speaks persuasively and uses complex words in order to alter the real story and convince the animals that Napoleon has their best interests at heart. This is a common strategy among dishonest leaders.

In the passage shown in the text above, Orwell is mocking leaders who tell lies to their people, as shown in option B.

We can arrive at this answer because:

This tactic is very common in oppressive leaders, who abuse power and want to be supported by the people. Orwell criticizes these leaders.

"Daffodils"
By William Wordsworth

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host of golden daffodils
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
6 Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay
Ten thousand saw I at a glance
12 Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Outdid the sparkling waves in glee;
A poet could not but be gay
In such a jocund company;
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
18 What wealth the show to me had brought.

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
24 And dances with the daffodils.
According to the poem, what view of nature is presented?
A) Nature can bring hatred, it can do things to the mind
B) Nature is relied on to bring humanity joy
C) Nature is powerful but frightening

Genesis 3: 12-13

And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.


Paradise Lost, Book X, 124-162

Adam sore beset repli'd.
O Heav'n! in evil strait this day I stand125
Before my Judge, either to undergoe
My self the total Crime, or to accuse
My other self, the partner of my life;
Whose failing, while her Faith to me remaines,
I should conceal, and not expose to blame130
By my complaint; but strict necessitie
Subdues me, and calamitous constraint
Least on my head both sin and punishment,
However insupportable, be all
Devolv'd; though should I hold my peace, yet thou135
Wouldst easily detect what I conceale.
This Woman whom thou mad'st to be my help,
And gav'st me as thy perfet gift, so good,
So fit, so acceptable, so Divine,
That from her hand I could suspect no ill,140
And what she did, whatever in it self,
Her doing seem'd to justifie the deed;
Shee gave me of the Tree, and I did eate.

To whom the sovran Presence thus repli'd.
Was shee thy God, that her thou didst obey145
Before his voice, or was shee made thy guide,
Superior, or but equal, that to her
Thou did'st resigne thy Manhood, and the Place
Wherein God set thee above her made of thee,
And for thee, whose perfection farr excell'd150
Hers in all real dignitie: Adornd
She was indeed, and lovely to attract
Thy Love, not thy Subjection, and her Gifts
Were such as under Government well seem'd,
Unseemly to beare rule, which was thy part155
And person, hadst thou known thy self aright.

So having said, he thus to Eve in few:
Say Woman, what is this which thou hast done?

To whom sad Eve with shame nigh overwhelm'd,

Thy Love, not thy Subjection,

Read the following passage from "Another Evening at the Club."
Putting the ring away in his pocket, he bent over her and with both hands gently patted her on the cheeks. It was a gesture she had long become used to, a gesture that promised her continued security, that told her that this man who was her husband and the father of her child had also taken the place of her father who, as though assured that he had found her a suitable substitute, had followed up her marriage with his own funeral. The gesture told her more eloquently than any words that he was the man, she the woman, he the one who carried the responsibilities, made the decisions, she the one whose role it was to be beautiful, happy, carefree. Now, though, for the first time in their life together, the gesture came like a slap in the face.

25POINTS
As on all its sides a kitchen-match darts white
flickering tongues before it bursts into flame:
with the audience around her, quickened, hot,
her dance begins to flicker in the dark room.

5 And all at once it is completely fire.

One upward glance and she ignites her hair
and, whirling faster and faster, fans her dress
into passionate flames, till it becomes a furnace
from which, like startled rattlesnakes, the long
10 naked arms uncoil, aroused and clicking.

And then: as if the fire were too tight
around her body, she takes and flings it out
haughtily, with an imperious gesture,
and watches: it lies raging on the floor,
15 still blazing up, and the flames refuse to die -
Till, moving with total confidence and a sweet
exultant smile, she looks up finally
and stamps it out with powerful small feet.


What is compared in the first stanza?

the dance and a kitchen match when it is first struck
the dancer and a kitchen match when it is first struck
the dancer and the brilliant flame of a kitchen match
the audience and the heat from a lighted kitchen match

The Scientist Experiments

by Stacy Lewis



(1) Scientists study the world around us. (2) One way that scientists do their jobs is by conducting experiments. (3) The experiments that scientists conduct are like tests that they perform. (4) Experiments help scientists learn how things happen in our world and why things happen in our world. (5) For example, a botanist, a type of scientist who studies plants, a botanist would perform experiments related to plants.

(6) Here is an example of a basic, meaningful experiment that a botanist might conduct. (7) The materials required are a seed, a pot of soil, and water. (8) First, the scientist plants a seed in the soil. (9) She then places the pot on a window sill, or a similarly sunny place where it can soak in the sun. (10) She waters the seed every day, watches for changes. (11) And then she dutifully records what happens. (12) After thirty days, she measures both the plant's height and weight, as well as also measuring the number of leaves it has grown.

(13) Next, she repeats the same steps with another seed, excepting that she only waters the second seed once a week this time. (14) Again, she takes records of the plant's growth and makes the same measurements. (15) Then she compares her results, hoping to figure out the impact of daily watering on plants. (16) Does regular watering make plants healthy and tall, or does it not matter? (17) Her results can help to reveal the answers to such queries.
