Question

A. It's obvious why Mr. Jones would want to take his farm back. But why would other farmers (who are not friends of the Jones') try to help Mr. Jones take his farm back from the animals?

a) Other farmers empathized with Mr. Jones and saw the animals as a common threat to their own farms.
b) Other farmers wanted to exploit Mr. Jones and take over his farm once the animals were removed.
c) Other farmers had a deep-rooted friendship with the animals and saw them as allies in their own farming endeavors.
d) Other farmers believed that the animals should have the farm, not Mr. Jones.

Answer 1

Other farmers may have empathized with Mr. Jones and seen the animals as a common threat to their own farms.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer to why other farmers would want to help Mr. Jones take his farm back from the animals is a) Other farmers empathized with Mr. Jones and saw the animals as a common threat to their own farms. They may have experienced similar issues with the animals causing damage to their crops and understood the need to remove them. Other farmers wanting to exploit Mr. Jones or having a deep-rooted friendship with the animals (options b and c) are less likely explanations. Option d, where other farmers believed that the animals should have the farm, not Mr. Jones, is also not a valid reason for them to help Mr. Jones.
