Question 18 • TX-English II A-CR

Read the excerpt from chapter 10 of Animal Farm.For once Benjamin consented to break his rule, and he read out to her what was written on the wall. There was nothing there now except a single Commandment. It ran:ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUALBUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS

Answer
A
reversal, because the commandment has changed in meaning
B
reversal, because Benjamin finally agrees to break his rule
C
parody, because most of the animals still cannot read
D
parody, because the commandment is making fun of the pigs

Explanation

The commandment first claims that all animals are equal, then reverses that principle by saying some are “more equal” than others. This contradiction shows how the pigs have changed the commandment’s meaning to justify their special status. So the best answer is “reversal, because the commandment has changed in meaning.” Benjamin’s decision to read it aloud is not the reversal being described.
