Read the passage from Animal Farm. They had just finished singing it for the third time when Squealer, attended by two dogs, approached them with the air of having something important to say. He announced that, by a special decree of Comrade Napoleon, "Beasts of England" had been abolished. From now onwards it was forbidden to sing it. The animals were taken aback. "Why?" cried Muriel. "It's no longer needed, comrade," said Squealer stiffly. "'Beasts of England' was the song of the Rebellion. But the Rebellion is now completed. The execution of the traitors this afternoon was the final act. The enemy both external and internal has been defeated. In 'Beasts of England' we expressed our longing for a better society in days to come. But that society has now been established. Clearly this song has no longer any purpose." Frightened though they were, some of the animals might possibly have protested, but at this moment the sheep set up their usual bleating of "Four legs good, two legs bad," which went on for several minutes and put an end to the discussion. So "Beasts of England" was heard no more. In its place Minimus, the poet, had composed another song which began: Animal Farm, Animal Farm, Never through me shalt thou come to harm! and this was sung every Sunday morning after the hoisting of the flag. But somehow neither the words nor the tune ever seemed to the animals to come up to "Beasts of England." How does the introduction of Minimus the poet support the author's purpose? Minimus represents the Soviet people’s determination to defend the country against attack. Minimus represents the producers of state-approved songs and slogans in Stalin's era. Minimus represents the true feelings of all Soviet people and their commitment to communism. Minimus represents the underlying loyalty that Soviet people had to Stalin despite his flaws.

Answer:

Minimus represents the producers of state-approved songs and slogans in Stalin's era.

Explanation:

George Orwell's "Animal Farm" is an allegorical take on the dictatorial government of the Soviet Union. Using animal characters as the main protagonists, the author presents the state of authority that befalls any 'government' that works to overcome one another, and the futile result that only leads back to the original condition.

In the given passage from the novel, the animals were seen singing "Beasts of England" which is a rebellious song that inspires them to be united and have a sense of brotherhood. But when Squealer came to announce the prohibition of the song and instead introduced a new song composed by the poet Minimus. This new song didn't seem to have the same effect of unity and patriotism as "Beast of England" does. But being ordered to sing only the new song, the animals on the farm have no choice.

This 'forceful' introduction and implementation of the new song to replace the old, familiar song can be seen as a representation of the state-approved songs and slogans under the rule of Stalin (or in the case of the story, Napoleon) through puppet producers such as Minimus.

Answer:

B. Minimus represents the producers of state-approved songs and slogans in Stalin's era.

Which inference is best supported by the passage below: Mr. Ratignolle was one of those men who are called the salt of the earth. His cheerfulness was unbounded, and it was matched by his goodness of heart, his broad charity, and common sense. He and his wife spoke English with an accent which was only discernible through its un-English emphasis and a certain carefulness and deliberation. Edna's husband spoke English with no accent whatever. The Ratignolles understood each other perfectly. If ever the fusion of two human beings into one has been accomplished on this sphere it was surely in their union. As Edna seated herself at table with them she thought, "Better a dinner of herbs," though it did not take her long to discover that it was no dinner of herbs, but a delicious repast, simple, choice, and in every way satisfying. a)There was considerable social pressure in New Orleans at the time to speak English. b) Edna can’t help but compare the Ratignolles’ blissful marriage to her own. c) The Ratignolles’ marriage has never had any problems or strife. d) French cuisine is widely considered to be among the finest in the world.

*QUICKEST ANSWER GETS BRIANLIEST* I HAVE LIMITED TIME HELP ASAP PLEASE Read this excerpt from White Fang. White Fang saw his mother taken aboard Three Eagles’ canoe, and tried to follow her. A blow from Three Eagles knocked him backward to the land. The canoe shoved off. He sprang into the water and swam after it, deaf to the sharp cries of Grey Beaver to return. Even a man-animal, a god, White Fang ignored, such as the terror he was in of losing his mother. But gods are accustomed to being obeyed, and Grey Beaver wrathfully launched a canoe in pursuit. When he overtook White Fang, he reached down and by the nape of the neck lifted him clear of the water. He did not deposit him at once in the bottom of the canoe. Holding him suspended with one hand, with the other hand he proceeded to give him a beating. (The conflict in this excerpt is important to the plot development because Grey Beaver punishes White Fang until he becomes violent and ceases to care about the consequences.) (White Fang gives up and becomes a weak character after being abandoned by his mother.) (Kiche is hurt in the outburst and is returned to the camp because of her injuries).( White Fang learns to survive the loss of his mother and the great challenge of human punishment.)

Select the correct text in the passage. Aaliyah is writing an essay on how to break in a baseball glove. Which two signal words or phrases help to identify the text structure she chose to use? I started playing T-ball when I was three years old, and I’ve been playing ever since. For many years, I had a glove that I loved to use. It was broken in perfectly—not stiff at all. Unfortunately, the glove fell apart during a game; therefore, I found myself needing to break in a new one. I researched several methods and chose the best one for the job. Here’s the method that I found to work the best: After washing your hands, start applying glove oil all over your glove with a cloth. You need to really work on the area around the pocket and along the laces. Allow the glove to dry before going on to the next step. Place a baseball or softball in the pocket of the glove. Then wrap it with rubber bands to keep it in place. You still might end up with creases in your glove. To solve this problem, you should be careful not to wrap the glove too tight or allow the bands to be too loose.
