Owen speculated on the possibilities: what would it be like to come up to bat? to swing and bat the baseball above the outfield barrier? what would it be like to sprint around the bases with the ball in play like a motivating wind at your back?

in paragraph 4, what point is owen making when he talks about the ball being a motivating wind at his back?
a) playing the game would be very difficult.
b) the weather would be perfect for playing.
c) george was the fastest runner on the team.
d) running around the bases would be exciting.

D. It's very exciting running the bases because you could be thrown out when trying for an extra base. It is a race between you and the fielder. Will you beat that ball to the fielder's glove? The man in the example sounds like someone who is disabled and doesn't know what the experience feels like. To play baseball is at least ten times more exciting than watching it!

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.

c. barbarians with unexpected intelligence
