Read the passage from Animal Farm.

At the gate they paused, half frightened to go on, but Clover led the way in. They tiptoed up to the house, and such animals as were tall enough peered in at the dining-room window. There, round the long table, sat half a dozen farmers and half a dozen of the more eminent pigs, Napoleon himself occupying the seat of honour at the head of the table. The pigs appeared completely at ease in their chairs. The company had been enjoying a game of cards but had broken off for the moment, evidently in order to drink a toast. A large jug was circulating, and the mugs were being refilled with beer. No one noticed the wondering faces of the animals that gazed in at the window.

What is the central idea of this passage?

The pigs are natural card players.
The animals outside want to come inside too.
Napoleon is the leader of the pigs and humans.
The pigs are socializing with humans and behaving like them.

In this allegorical novel, the author gives human characteristics to the animals in the farm, especially to the pigs. In this excerpt, the pigs, which take the leadership role in the story, are spending time with the neighbouring farmers at the same time they are acting like them. Napoleon and the other pigs play cards, drink beer, and they even look relaxed while sitting in chairs.

The central idea of this passage is that:

D. The pigs are socializing with humans and behaving like them.

According to the given excerpt, we can see that the animals are having a round table discussion among themselves.

This shows that they are already behaving like humans and acing like them, even though they said they wanted to be free from them and do whatever they liked which turned out to be false in the end.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D
