Observe the extract below and choose the alternative that is closest in meaning to it:With its swinish communists, the book seemed heretical. And no wonder. Stalin and Trotsky, after all, were unmistakably Orwell’s feuding pigs, Napoleon and Snowball. It was not until the war had ended that Frederic Warburg finally published it, on August 17, 1945.
- AAlthough it portrayed dedicated to the cause communists, the book seemed heretical. This was not a surprise since Napoleon and Snowball, two of Orwell’s pigs, obviously represented Stalin and Trotsky. The book was published by Frederic Warburg, on August 17, 1945, right before the end of the war.
- BThe book seemed heretical since it portrayed piggy communists that obviously were inspired by political characters Napoleon and Snowball. This fact did not surprise Trotsky and Stalin who could not avoid the publication of the book, on August 17, 1945, by Frederic Warburg, after the war had been declared.
- CIt was not astonishing that Orwell’s book was considered heretical due to the fact that its characters, the pigs Napoleon and Snowball, who are communists in the story, clearly alluded to Stalin and Trotsky. The book was published by Frederic Warburg, on August 17, 1945, after the end of the war.
- DAs the pig characters Stalin and Trotsky are undoubtedly the communists in the story, they are guided by Napoleon and Snowball, which led the book to be considered a heresy. Because of the political setting it could not be published until the war ended. Thus, Frederic Warburg published it on August 17, 1945.
- ENapoleon and Snowball are the pigs known for being communists in Animal Farm. Stalin and Trotsky, who realized that the characters were inspired by them, considered it a heresy and prevented it from being published until the war had finished on August 17, 1945.
