Read the passage from Animal Farm.

Within a few weeks Snowball's plans for the windmill were fully worked out. The mechanical details came mostly from three books which had belonged to Mr. Jones—"One Thousand Useful Things to Do About the House," "Every Man His Own Bricklayer," and "Electricity for Beginners." Snowball used as his study a shed which had once been used for incubators and had a smooth wooden floor, suitable for drawing on. He was closeted there for hours at a time. With his books held open by a stone, and with a piece of chalk gripped between the knuckles of his trotter, he would move rapidly to and fro, drawing in line after line and uttering little whimpers of excitement. Gradually the plans grew into a complicated mass of cranks and cog-wheels, covering more than half the floor, which the other animals found completely unintelligible but very impressive. All of them came to look at Snowball's drawings at least once a day. Even the hens and ducks came, and were at pains not to tread on the chalk marks. Only Napoleon held aloof. He had declared himself against the windmill from the start. One day, however, he arrived unexpectedly to examine the plans. He walked heavily round the shed, looked closely at every detail of the plans and snuffed at them once or twice, then stood for a little while contemplating them out of the corner of his eye; then suddenly he lifted his leg, urinated over the plans, and walked out without uttering a word.

What is most likely Orwell's purpose for writing this passage?

to demonstrate that Snowball is more creative than Napoleon

to illustrate the power struggle that Napoleon will likely win

to reveal Napoleon's real feelings about plans for the windmill

to show the interest of the rest of the farm in Snowball’s windmill

Answer 1

Answer:

The most likely of Orwell's purpose for writing this passage is to illustrate the power struggle that Napoleon will likely win.

In clear defiance and demonstration of  power Napoleon urinated on Snowball´s windmill plans. This is to show Napoleon´s ways in dealing  with his opponents. Far removed from a statesman, Napoleon resorted to trampling on the other´s ideas, quite foreboding of what was to come.

Explanation:

Answer 2

The most likely purpose of Orwell for writing this passage is option B to illustrate the power struggle that Napoleon will likely win.

Animal Farm is a novel by the author George Orwell which tells us a story of a farm that has been taken over by the animals and the establishment of a new form of government by them. Snowball and Napoleon are the leaders of the complete rebellion, who are two pigs.

Option B is correct because:

• Napoleon is trying to establish his dominance by urinating over the plans, and walking out without uttering a word. This excerpt is foreshadowing too that Napoleon would more likely win this fight. This also shows the power struggle going on between the pigs.

• Snowball is more committed to work for the betterment of the farm and is also very creative but Napoleon sees him as a threat and he is only interested in gaining power. And therefore, he tries to ruin the plans created by Snowball.  

• This also shows Napoleon’s way of dealing with his opponents. He is threatened by Snowball’s dedication.

• Snowball and Napoleon disagree with each other most of the time, snowball wants to build a windmill and Napoleon is opposed to the idea.

The rest of the options are incorrect because the excerpt is not about Snowball’s creativity, or the interest of the rest of the farms in his plans, and everyone knows about the feelings of Napoleon from the beginning.
