Read the excerpt from major's speech in chapter 1 of animal farm. "fix your eyes on that, comrades, throughout the short remainder of your lives! and above all, pass on this message of mine to those who come after you, so that future generations shall carry on the struggle until it is victorious. "and remember, comrades, your resolution must never falter. no argument must lead you astray. never listen when they tell you that man and the animals have a common interest, that the prosperity of the one is the prosperity of the others. it is all lies. man serves the interests of no creature except himself. and among us animals let there be perfect unity, perfect comradeship in the struggle. all men are enemies. all animals are comrades." which prediction does this passage best support? the animals will learn that major has purposefully lied to them. the animals on the farm will die as a result of human actions. man and some animals will ultimately share similar goals. most of the animals will refuse to pass on major’s teachings.

Major emphasizes that humans can't be trusted. It is claimed that they only care about themselves. And thus, animals need to do the same. Humans and animals can never be friends.

The prediction that the passage best supports is;

B. The animals on the farm will die as a result of human actions.

You know this by reading this line from the excerpt;

"Never listen when they tell you that Man and the animals have a common interest, that the prosperity of the one is the prosperity of the others. It is all lies. Man serves the interests of no creature except himself."

Major has called the meeting to broadcast his dream and the revolution and how Man are enemies. He believes he will die soon.

After reading it a few times, I am almost certain that the answer is B.

"The animals on the farm will die as a result of human actions."

Major tells the animals that if Man tells them that they have their best interests at heart, they are lying. Man only does things that benefit only themselves and no one else.

Hope this helps!!

- "there are several movements that doris lessing was associated with. first of all, communism. she pursued her communist beliefs and included them in her writing, and was also a member of several communist book clubs. she is also strongly associated with feminism, her fight for equality and women's rights.

doris lessing is the kind of writer who has followers, not just readers. they have been engaged to her chiefly because of her involvement in major problems, such as politics and woman-ism."
