And the fruitful fields of England

Cruel whips shall no more crack.

Wheat and barley, oats and hay,

Shall be ours upon that day.
Bright will shine the fields of England,
Purer shall its water be,
Sweeter yet shall blow its breezes
On the day that sets us free.
For that day we all must labour,
Though we die before it break;
Cows and horses, geese and turkeys,
All must toils for freedom’s sake.

Beasts of every land and clime,
Hearken well and spread my tidings

____________________________________________
One Sunday morning, when the animals assembled to receive their orders, Napoleon announced that he had decided upon a new policy. From now onwards Animal Farm would engage in trade with the neighbouring farms: not, of course, for any commercial purpose, but simply in order to obtain certain materials which were urgently necessary. The needs of the windmill must override everything else, he said. He was therefore making arrangements to sell a stack of hay and part of the current year’s wheat crop, and later on, if more money were needed, it would have to be made up by the sale of eggs, for which there was always a market in Willingdon. The hens, said Napoleon, should welcome this sacrifice as their own special contribution towards the building of the windmill.
Once again the animals were conscious of a vague uneasiness. Never to have any dealings with human beings, never to engage in trade, never to make use of money — had not these been among the earliest resolutions passed at that first triumphant Meeting after Jones was expelled? All the animals remembered passing such resolutions: or at least they thought that they remembered it. The four young pigs who had protested when Napoleon abolished the Meetings raised their voices timidly, but they were promptly silenced by a tremendous growling from the dogs. Then, as usual, the sheep broke into ‘Four legs good, two legs bad!’ and the momentary awkwardness was smoothed over. Finally Napoleon raised his trotter for silence and announced that he had already made all the arrangements. There would be no need for any of the animals to come in contact with human beings, which would clearly be most undesirable. He intended to take the whole burden upon his own shoulders. A Mr. Whymper, a solicitor living in Willingdon, had agreed to act as intermediary between Animal Farm and the outside world, and would visit the farm every Monday morning to receive his instructions. Napoleon ended his speech with his usual cry of ‘Long live Animal Farm!’ and after the singing of Beasts of England the animals were dismissed.
Afterwards Squealer made a round of the farm and set the animals’ minds at rest. He assured them that the resolution against engaging in trade and using money had never been passed, or even suggested. It was pure imagination, probably traceable in the beginning to lies circulated by Snowball. A few animals still felt faintly doubtful, but Squealer asked them shrewdly, ‘Are you certain that this is not something that you have dreamed, comrades? Have you any record of such a resolution? Is it written down anywhere?’ And since it was certainly true that nothing of the kind existed in writing, the animals were satisfied that they had been mistaken.
________________________________________________________
The main idea in this excerpt is:
a
Snowball is the cause of all problems experienced on Animal Farm.
b
Napoleon is showing that he is a capable and wise businessman, with Squealer his assistant and advisor tasked with sharing important information with the animals.
c
The pigs must take all responsibility on Animal Farm since the other animals are unintelligent and forgetful.
d
Once again, Napoleon is violating one of the original commandments, but Squealer is gaslighting the animals to belief they are wrong to think so.

c

d
Hardworking farmhands, symbolic of people who labor.

"Beasts of England" is later replaced by a poem by Minimus that states:

Why reason does Squealer give for this change?
a
The animals took a vote and agreed to stop singing the song.
b
The "Beasts of England" was insulting to the animals.
c
It was a song to help in their rebellion, but now they have that perfect society they dreamed of in the song.

b) Indirect characterization
Question 1: The windmill in Animal Farm symbolizes option c - rebellion against humans. To understand this symbolism, it is important to read and analyze the text. The windmill is built by the animals as a symbol of their independence and ability to sustain themselves without relying on humans. It represents their desire to break free from human control and establish their own self-governed society.
Question 2: Animal Farm is primarily an allegory for option b - the Russian Revolution. To understand this allegory, it is necessary to study the historical context in which the book was written. Animal Farm mirrors the events of the Russian Revolution and the subsequent rise of communism in the Soviet Union, with each character representing a real-life figure or group of people.
Question 3: The statement "The animals overthrow their human oppressors in order to establish a fair and equal society" is true. This is a key theme in Animal Farm and is evident in the animals' rebellion against the humans and their efforts to create a society where all animals are equal.
Question 4: To match the quotes with the corresponding characters, the options from Column A need to be matched with the options from Column B based on the information provided in the quotes. The correct matches are:
1. "Man is the only real enemy we have. [...]" - g. Old Major
2. "His answer to every problem, every setback was “I will work harder!” [...]" - d. Boxer
3. "Donkeys live a long time. None of you has ever seen a dead donkey!" - f. Benjamin
4. “No one believes more firmly than Comrade Napoleon that all animals are equal. [...]" - c. Napoleon
5. "If she could have spoken her thoughts, it would have been [...]" - e. Clover
6. "As soon as they were weaned, (he) took them away from their mothers [...]" - b. Squealer
7. “Up there, comrades,” he would say solemnly, [...]" - a. Moses
Question 5: The quote from Squealer, "Comrades! You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? [...]" is primarily an example of option b - propaganda. Squealer uses this quote to manipulate the animals and justify the pigs' special treatment and privileges, presenting their actions as necessary for the welfare of all.
Question 6: The statement "The sheep change from chanting 'four legs good, two legs bad' to 'four legs good, two legs BETTER!' at the end of the story" is false. In the story, the sheep do not undergo any change in their chanting and continue to recite "four legs good, two legs bad" throughout.
Question 7: The correct answer is d - an allegory. An allegory is a simple story that serves as an extended metaphor, representing a larger point about society or human nature. In Animal Farm, the animals and their actions represent real-life figures and events, making it an allegorical work.
Question 8: The animal's song "Beasts of England" best supports the theme of option c - One must stay focused, unified, and positive in order to accomplish great things. The song instills a sense of unity and motivation among the animals, encouraging them to work together towards a better future and overcome the hardships they face.
Question 9: The statement "No animal shall eat sweets" is NOT one of the original Seven Commandments of Animalism. The original commandments are mentioned in the book and do not include this specific rule.
Question 10: The provided passage, "It was soon noticed that when there was work to be done the cat could never be found. [...]" is an example of indirect characterization. The author indirectly reveals the cat's behavior and personality traits through their actions and the observations of other characters.
