Read the excerpt from chapter 6 of Animal Farm . To see him toiling up the slope inch by inch, his breath coming fast, the tips of his hoofs clawing at the ground, and his great sides matted with sweat, filled everyone with admiration. Clover warned him sometimes to be careful not to overstrain himself, but Boxer would never listen to her. His two slogans, "I will work harder” and "Napoleon is always right,” seemed to him a sufficient answer to all problems. Which inferences about Boxer’s motivations does the text support? Choose two correct answers.
Answer
A
Boxer is motivated by the admiration of others.
B
Boxer is motivated by his commitment to Napoleon’s ideas.
C
Boxer is motivated by his own strong work ethic.
D
Boxer is motivated by his friendship with and respect for Clover.
E
Boxer is motivated by Napoleon’s dedication to equality.
Explanation
Boxer’s slogan “I will work harder” shows that he is driven by a strong work ethic. His other slogan, “Napoleon is always right,” shows his commitment to Napoleon and his beliefs. Clover’s warnings do not motivate him to work, and although others admire him, the excerpt does not say he works for their approval.
