Animal Farm, Part 8: Satire and Irony — Unit test

Question 7 • EN471 Sophomore English A

Read the excerpt from Major's speech in chapter 1 of Animal Farm."Fix your eyes on that, comrades, throughout the short remainder of your lives! And above all, pass on this message of mine to those who come after you, so that future generations shall carry on the struggle until it is victorious."And remember, comrades, your resolution must never falter. No argument must lead you astray. Never listen when they tell you that Man and the animals have a common interest, that the prosperity of the one is the prosperity of the others. It is all lies. Man serves the interests of no creature except himself. And among us animals let there be perfect unity, perfect comradeship in the struggle. All men are enemies. All animals are comrades."

Answer
A
The animals will learn that Major has purposefully lied to them.
B
The animals on the farm will die as a result of human actions.
C
Man and some animals will ultimately share similar goals.
D
Most of the animals will refuse to pass on Major’s teachings.

Explanation

Major insists that humans and animals have opposing interests and that all animals must remain united. Later, the pigs become like the humans they once opposed and pursue similar goals, such as gaining power and exploiting the other animals. This makes “Man and some animals will ultimately share similar goals” the best answer.
