The correct answer to this question is C) They have adopted the same oppressive and exploitative behavior.
In George Orwell's "Animal Farm," the pigs and dogs begin to resemble the humans, particularly how they were at the beginning of the story, in several key ways that demonstrate they have adopted oppressive and exploitative behavior:
1. Centralization of Power: Over time, the pigs, with Napoleon as their leader, centralize power and begin making decisions that benefit themselves at the expense of the other animals. This mirrors the administration of Mr. Jones, the human farmer they overthr
2. Privileges and Luxury: Pigs and dogs start enjoying luxuries and privileges that other animals do not have. They move into the farmhouse and begin sleeping in beds, contrary to the original commandments of Animalism, which opposed living in the manner of humans.
3. Exploitation of Other Animals: Just as the humans exploited the animals for their labor without fair compensation, so too do the pigs begin to exploit the other animals, requiring them to work hard with little reward.
4. Emulating Human Traits: The pigs even go as far as engaging in trade with humans, carrying whips (symbolic of oppression), and, most shockingly, eventually walking on two legs – an act that epitomizes the complete transformation and imitation of their former oppressors.
All these changes highlight that the pigs and dogs have not become more compassionate and understanding (A) or started engaging in physical labor themselves (B). Nor have they formed closer bonds with the other animals (D); rather, they have become the new tyrants, perpetuating the cycle of oppression and exploitation they initially rebelled against.
