He had achieved a doze when, just as morning began to come, he heard, far off in the jungle, the faint report of a pistol.

based on the previous passage, can you infer the meaning of report?
to inform authorities about somebody or something
make an official statement
an account of something, as in the news
a sharp, loud noise

the correct answer is the first option "the bolkshevik revolution". the passage makes reference to many of important events that occured in the revolution, such as the assemblies, in this case the animals are gathered in an assembly after a protest, the murder of fellow partners, the speeches given by the leader of the revolution, among other aspects. the last choice is possible, but in this passage in particular it is not emphasized the fight between the characters, that is the two pigs, that represent lenin and stallin.
