Read the excerpt from chapter 6 of Animal Farm.

By the autumn the animals were tired but happy. They had had a hard year, and after the sale of part of the hay and corn, the stores of food for the winter were none too plentiful, but the windmill compensated for everything. It was almost half built now.

How does the pacing of this passage affect the reader’s interpretation of the text?

A flashback to earlier events provides a pause in the pacing to slow events down.
Foreshadowing of events provides information as to what will happen to the windmill.
The pace of the text quickens to convey the characters’ resolve to finish the windmill.
The pace of the text quickens to move the story to its climax, the completion of the windmill.

The correct answer is D. The pace of the text quickens to move the story to its climax, the completion of the windmill because the story in the text is nearly about to the climax and is expressing the upcoming twist in the story. It is completely about the movement of the windmill and the climate situation. Then the author is contrasting the windmill with the blowing air in the surrounding.

Reason for the wrong answers:

Option A. A flashback to earlier events provides a pause in the pacing to slow events down is wrong because it doesn't mention the movement or any situation of the windmill and the blowing air.

Option B. Foreshadowing of events provides information as to what will happen to the windmill is wrong because it doesn't mention the reader's interpretation of the poem instead it's forecasting the upcoming time, the situation of the windmill.

Option C. The pace of the text quickens to convey the characters’ resolve to finish the windmill is wrong because the text is suggesting some ways to convey the problem-solving issues of the windmill.

Therefore, the answer concludes the story of the "climax and the movement of the windmill".
