Read the passage from chapter 2 of animal farm.

they explained that by their studies of the past three months the pigs had succeeded in reducing the principles of animalism to seven commandments. these seven commandments would now be inscribed on the wall; they would form an unalterable law by which all the animals on animal farm must live for ever after. with some difficulty (for it is not easy for a pig to balance himself on a ladder) snowball climbed up and set to work, with squealer a few rungs below him holding the paint-pot. the commandments were written on the tarred wall in great white letters that could be read thirty yards away.

which prediction does this passage best support?

the seven commandments will become a new religion.
snowball will fall off the ladder and injure himself.
the animals will not see the commandments on the wall.
the pigs will eventually change the seven commandments.

The prediction which best supports the passage from Animal Farm is, ’The pigs will eventually change the Seven Commandments.

Option D

Explanation:

Animal farm is a metaphorical book which is written by George Orwell. In this book Orwell describes how the farm animals revolt with their human master so that they can be free from all the barriers and live their life like a free animal as they used to live before entering the farm.

Orwell narrates that there are seven commandments that every animal must follow. From the passage we come to know that every other animal will adhere to these commandments apart from pigs. Pigs rather have created their own slogan – Four legs good, two legs bad. By two legs, pigs are trying to point out towards humans.  

The best option is indeed letter D) The pigs will eventually change the Seven Commandments.

Explanation:

"Animal Farm" is an allegorical novella written by George Orwell as a critique to the Soviet Regime after the Russian Revolution. The pigs were chosen by the author to represent Soviet leaders while the other animals represent the Russian people.

The passage we are studying here predicts the pigs ascension as leaders and the change in their behavior. They are the only animals intelligent enough to be in control of the revolution and its aftermath. The other farm animals have no problem when it comes to following the pigs' decisions and instructions. However, very much like the Soviet leaders did in real life, once in power, the pigs begin to see how they can take advantage of the other animals. The Seven Commandments they once painted on the wall are changed to accommodate the pigs' newly found desires. For instance, the commandment that stated that all animals are equal is changed to "all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others" to justify the pigs comfortable and human-like lifestyle.
