Read the passage from Animal Farm.The animals had now reassembled in the wildest excitement, each recounting his own exploits in the battle at the top of his voice. An impromptu celebration of the victory was held immediately. The flag was run up and "Beasts of England" was sung a number of times, then the sheep who had been killed was given a solemn funeral, a hawthorn bush being planted on her grave. At the graveside Snowball made a little speech, emphasizing the need for all animals to be ready to die for Animal Farm if need be.
Answer
A
the Bolshevik Revolution
B
the end of the Allied invasion of Russia
C
World War I
D
the power struggle between Lenin and Stalin
Explanation
The scene describes the animals celebrating a victory over the humans in the Battle of the Cowshed. In the novel’s allegory, this battle represents the defeat of forces trying to overthrow the new Soviet government, including the Allied intervention in Russia. The animals’ victory therefore corresponds most closely to the end of the Allied invasion of Russia, not the Bolshevik Revolution itself.
