The piglets were extremely excited to investigate the barn. They found the smallest details fascinating. Not all of them were so eager to explore, though. The little piglet seemed aloof. Not exactly shy, she seemed distant and satisfied with observing the others as they did all the work. Which word from the passage helps explain the meaning of aloof?

1. Eager 2. Shy 3. Distant 5. Satisfied

It would be 3. Distant

Explanation:

It can't be eager because the sentence after says that she was distant from the others as they did all the work. It also states that she wasn't shy but distant and satisfied. However, aloof wouldn't mean satisfied because aloof means to remove or distant either physically or emotionally while satisfied is nothing near that definition.

the excerpt from chapter 2 of "animal farm", by george orwell that is an example of foreshadowing is "these three (snowball, napoleon, and squealer) had elaborated old major's teachings into a complete system of thought to which they gave the name of animalism." animal farm is an allegory of how czarist russia developed into communist russia with all its corruption. old major's teachings represent marx's theories turned into communism, animalism, by the three pigs. this foreshadows the oppression and corruption that will follow this revolt.
