Read the excerpt from chapter 6 of Animal Farm . Every Monday Mr. Whymper visited the farm as had been arranged. He was a sly-looking little man with side whiskers, a solicitor in a very small way of business, but sharp enough to have realized earlier than anyone else that Animal Farm would need a broker and that the commissions would be worth having. Which statement best explains why Mr. Whymper serves as an intermediary for Animal Farm?
Answer
A
He is motivated by a desire for power.
B
He is motivated by a sense of duty.
C
He is motivated by a desire to help others.
D
He is motivated by financial success.
Explanation
The excerpt says Mr. Whymper realized that Animal Farm would need a broker and that the commissions would be “worth having.” Commissions are payments for arranging business, so this shows he acts as an intermediary because he expects to make money. The best choice is “He is motivated by financial success.”
