Which quotation from this passage is the best example of foreshadowing?
Read the passage from chapter 2 of Animal Farm.
But at this moment the three cows, who had seemed uneasy for some time past, set up a loud
lowing. They had not been milked for twenty-four hours, and their udders were almost bursting.
After a little thought, the pigs sent for buckets and milked the cows fairly successfully, their
trotters being well adapted to this task. Soon there were five buckets of frothing creamy milk at
which many of the animals looked with considerable interest.
"What is going to happen to all that milk?" said someone.
"Jones used sometimes to mix some of it in our mash," said one of the hens.
"Never mind the milk, comrades!" cried Napoleon, placing himself in front of the buckets. "That
will be attended to. The harvest is more important. Comrade Snowball will lead the way. I shall
follow in a few minutes. Forward, comrades! The hay is waiting."
So the animals trooped down to the hayfield to begin the harvest, and when they came back in
the evening it was noticed that the milk had disappeared.

What is Orwell's main purpose in this passage?
Read the passage from Animal Farm.
Once again it was being put about that all the animals were dying of famine and disease, and that
they were continually fighting among themselves and had resorted to cannibalism and
infanticide. Napoleon was well aware of the bad results that might follow if the real facts of the
food situation were known, and he decided to make use of Mr. Whymper to spread a contrary
impression. Hitherto the animals had had little or no contact with Whymper on his weekly visits:
now, however, a few selected animals, mostly sheep, were instructed to remark casually in his
hearing that rations had been increased. In addition, Napoleon ordered the almost empty bins in
the store-shed to be filled nearly to the brim with sand, which was then covered up with what
remained of the grain and meal. On some suitable pretext Whymper was led through the store-
shed and allowed to catch a glimpse of the bins. He was deceived, and continued to report to the
outside world that there was no food shortage on Animal Farm.

Which details or events relating to the Russian Revolution does this passage most highlight?
Select THREE options.
Read the passage from chapter 2 of Animal Farm.
These three had elaborated old Major's teachings into a complete system of thought, to which
they gave the name of Animalism. Several nights a week, after Mr. Jones was asleep, they held
secret meetings in the barn and expounded the principles of Animalism to the others. At the
beginning they met with much stupidity and apathy. Some of the animals talked of the duty of
loyalty to Mr. Jones, whom they referred to as "Master," or made elementary remarks such as
"Mr. Jones feeds us. If he were gone, we should starve to death." Others asked such questions as
"Why should we care what happens after we are dead?" or "If this Rebellion is to happen
anyway, what difference does it make whether we work for it or not?", and the pigs had great
difficulty in making them see that this was contrary to the spirit of Animalism. The stupidest
questions of all were asked by Mollie, the white mare. The very first question she asked
Snowball was: "Will there still be sugar after the Rebellion?"
