Read the passage from Animal FarmThe mystery of where the milk went to was soon cleared up. It was mixed every day into the pigs' mash. The early apples were now ripening, and the grass of the orchard was littered with windfalls. The animals had assumed as a matter of course that these would be shared out equally; one day, however, the order went forth that all the windfalls were to be collected and brought to the harness-room for the use of the pigs. At this some of the other animals murmured, but it was no use. All the pigs were in full agreement on this point, even Snowball and Napoleon. Squealer was sent to make the necessary explanations to the others.
Answer
A
The pigs are resolving to share the farm’s resources equally.
B
The other animals are starting to plot against the pigs.
C
The pigs are planning to eventually expel the other animals.
D
The pigs are exploiting their authority and becoming corrupt.
Explanation
The animals expect the apples to be shared equally, but the pigs order that all the windfalls be collected for their own use. This shows the pigs are using their authority to claim resources for themselves rather than treating the other animals fairly. The passage does not suggest that the animals are plotting against the pigs or that the pigs plan to expel them.
