Question 858 • Crowley Credit Recovery Algebra II B
Read the excerpt from chapter 5 of Animal Farm.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.
Answer
A
He is planning the windmill.
B
He is tired of working hard.
C
He wants to be a famous artist.
D
He wants to help Napoleon.
Explanation
Snowball is drawing detailed plans made of “cranks and cog-wheels,” and the passage describes him working for hours on them. In chapter 5, these plans are for a windmill that he hopes will make life easier on the farm. So the correct choice is “He is planning the windmill.”
