Animal Farm, Part 2: Allegory

Question 5 • EN471 Sophomore English A

Read the passage from chapter 2 of Animal Farm.They explained that by their studies of the past three months the pigs had succeeded in reducing the principles of Animalism to Seven Commandments. These Seven Commandments would now be inscribed on the wall; they would form an unalterable law by which all the animals on Animal Farm must live for ever after. With some difficulty (for it is not easy for a pig to balance himself on a ladder) Snowball climbed up and set to work, with Squealer a few rungs below him holding the paint-pot. The Commandments were written on the tarred wall in great white letters that could be read thirty yards away.

Answer
A
The Seven Commandments will become a new religion.
B
Snowball will fall off the ladder and injure himself.
C
The animals will not see the commandments on the wall.
D
The pigs will eventually change the Seven Commandments.

Explanation

The passage calls the Seven Commandments an “unalterable law” that the animals must follow “for ever after.” That emphatic promise can foreshadow the pigs later changing the rules to suit themselves. So the best prediction is that the pigs will eventually change the Seven Commandments.
