Question

Read the passage from chapter 2 of Animal Farm. Napoleon was a large, rather fierce-looking Berkshire boar, the only Berkshire on the farm, not much of a talker, but with a reputation for getting his own way. Snowball was a more vivacious pig than Napoleon, quicker in speech and more inventive, but was not considered to have the same depth of character. All the other male pigs on the farm were porkers. The best known among them was a small fat pig named Squealer, with very round cheeks, twinkling eyes, nimble movements, and a shrill voice. He was a brilliant talker, and when he was arguing some difficult point he had a way of skipping from side to side and whisking his tail which was somehow very persuasive. The others said of Squealer that he could turn black into white. Which excerpts from the passage use imagery to describe an animal? Select two options. “with a reputation for getting his own way” “but was not considered to have the same depth of character” “All the other male pigs on the farm were porkers.” “with very round cheeks, twinkling eyes, nimble movements, and a shrill voice” “way of skipping from side to side and whisking his tail”

Answer 1

Last two options: "With very round cheeks, twinkling eyes, nimble movements, and a shrill voice" and "way of skipping from side to side and whisking his tail".

Imagery is the use of figurative language to describe things as perceived by our physical senses.

Answer 2

Answer: D) “with very round cheeks, twinkling eyes, nimble movements, and a shrill voice” and E) “way of skipping from side to side and whisking his tail.”

Explanation: Imagery is a figure of speech that consists in the use of descriptive language to represent characters, objects, actions and ideas, by appealing to our senses. It is used to create visual representations of things in our minds. In the given excerpt from chapter 2 of Animal Farm, we can see examples of the use of imagery in some of the descriptions of the animals: “with very round cheeks, twinkling eyes, nimble movements, and a shrill voice” and “way of skipping from side to side and whisking his tail” this phrases help us create an image of the characters.
