Answer 1

Based on the given options, the most appropriate answer would be: "the older boys have assumed positions of power and control over the littluns."

Resemble of a political state:

In Chapter 4 of the book "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding, the boys on the island start acting like a government as the older boys start bossing around the younger boys.

The older boys are in charge and make decisions, organize things, and make sure the rules are followed. They show that they are in charge and make the younger kids follow their rules, creating a social order in the group. This shows how certain people or groups have power and control over others, similar to how it is in politics.
