Question 1 • EN471 Sophomore English A

Read the excerpt from chapter 6 of Animal Farm.Every Monday Mr. Whymper visited the farm as had been arranged.

Answer
A
He is motivated by a desire for power.
B
He is motivated by financial success.
C
He is motivated by a sense of duty.
D
He is motivated by a desire to help others.

Explanation

The excerpt says Mr. Whymper realized that Animal Farm would need a broker and that the commissions would be “worth having.” Commissions are money earned for arranging business, so this shows he is motivated by financial success, not duty or helping others.
