Read the passage from chapter 1 of Animal Farm."I have little more to say. I merely repeat, remember always your duty of enmity towards Man and all his ways. Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend. And remember also that in fighting against Man, we must not come to resemble him. Even when you have conquered him, do not adopt his vices. No animal must ever live in a house, or sleep in a bed, or wear clothes, or drink alcohol, or smoke tobacco, or touch money, or engage in trade. All the habits of Man are evil. And, above all, no animal must ever tyrannise over his own kind. Weak or strong, clever or simple, we are all brothers. No animal must ever kill any other animal. All animals are equal."
Answer
A
He uses parody to reveal the cruelness of communist leaders.
B
He uses ridicule to make fun of the beliefs of revolutionaries.
C
He uses parody to make the working class seem silly.
D
He uses exaggeration to make communism appear too simplistic.
Explanation
Old Major reduces the conflict to absolute rules: two-legged creatures are enemies, four-legged or winged creatures are friends, and every animal is equal. This exaggeration makes the revolutionary doctrine seem overly simple, especially since it treats complex questions of power and society as easy, universal rules. The best choice is “He uses exaggeration to make communism appear too simplistic.”
