Which of the following descriptions most clearly emphasizes the seriousness of the man's conflict with nature? a. his spittle freezes and cracks when it hits the air. b. the dog does not want to lead the way as they walk through the snow. c. he is wearing moccasins instead of boots. d. he does not want to take off his mitten to remove the ice from his foot.

(A) would be the correct answer, hope that helps :)

normally working animals are domesticated and ruled by a master, a domesticator (tamer), to perform basic and important functions on a farm, for example. the value used in this context is animal labor in exchange for food. it is not so much a contrast to the story told by napoleon and the pigs, since the animals of that particular farm also performed functions on the farm through domestication. the only thing is that in this case, who rules them is a pig, also an animal, but very respected, to whom the other animals lent him submission. that's about a strong relationship of dependency between animal and owner.
