Question

Read the passage from chapter 2 of Animal Farm.

The pigs had an even harder struggle to counteract the lies put about by Moses, the tame raven. Moses, who was Mr. Jones's especial pet, was a spy and a tale-bearer, but he was also a clever talker. He claimed to know of the existence of a mysterious country called Sugarcandy Mountain, to which all animals went when they died. It was situated somewhere up in the sky, a little distance beyond the clouds, Moses said. In Sugarcandy Mountain it was Sunday seven days a week, clover was in season all the year round, and lump sugar and linseed cake grew on the hedges. The animals hated Moses because he told tales and did no work, but some of them believed in Sugarcandy Mountain, and the pigs had to argue very hard to persuade them that there was no such place.

===============================================================

What does Sugarcandy Mountain represent in the story?


A) the farm after the rebellion

B) the concept of heaven

C) a nation where people are free

D) a farm for older animals

Answer 1

Sugarcandy Mountain represents B, the concept of Heaven

Answer 2

The answer is: B) the concept of heaven

Moses describes Sugarcandy as country “to which all animals went when they died. It was situated somewhere up in the sky, a little distance beyond the clouds” in Sugarcandy Mountain “it was Sunday seven days a week, clover was in season all the year round, and lump sugar and linseed cake grew on the hedges.” This is the portray of heaven as understood in scripture.
