Answer: The excerpt highlights the theme of the fleeting nature of life is the one by Andrew Marvell, "To His Coy Mistress."

Explanation: This excerpt from Marvell's famous poem is specifically referring to the ephemeral nature of life, since the speaker is saying that he is constantly hearing the chariot of time - which is fast since it has wings - hurrying near, and eternity is ahead of us waiting for all of us. This poem is, in fact, a call to seize the day (<em>carpe diem</em>) and enjoy the pleasures that life has to offer. The speaker is telling to his coy mistress that if time was unlimited they could wait before courting and loving each other, but it is not, so he is urging her to let him love her.

Answer:

C.his feelings of contempt and animosity toward Snowball and his ideas

The excerpt says that he "declared himself against the windmill" and while walking around the plans "snuffed at them once or twice". This behavior shows that he is not in favor of the windmill plans. His act of urinating all over the plans confirms his dislike of them.

The other options are also simply wrong. Option A is simply an incorrect statement. The hens and ducks did not make the plans nor did they have plans to destroy them. His natural instinct to mark the plans as his own is also a terrible choice. Option D is also not a good option since the other animals have already seen Snowball's windmill plans. We know this because it says "All of them came to look".
