The works of shakespeare would be considered standard english today.
a. true
b. false

The correct answer is B. False

Explanation:

William Shakespeare was a prominent writer during the 16th and 17th centuries; in his works that included mainly play and poems, Shakespeare used many words that were common during that era along with words he invented. Due to this, the use of language in Shakespeare's works differs greatly from Standard English today. This occurs not only because language evolves over time but also because many words Shakespeare used were exclusive from literature or were his inventions. Thus, it is false the works of Shakespeare would be considered Standard English today.

animal farm, written by george orwell, is a representation of russia after the revolution that led stalin to take over power.

in this excerpt, the central idea seems to be that the animals (a representation of society), when they believe to be working for a greater good and equality, are obedient and productive. they were convinced that, after expelling the owner (jones) from the farm, they would live in harmony and be fairly treated.

as we know, the pigs become the leaders and grow more selfish and dictatorial with time. in the end, they look and act in a way so similar to humans that it is impossible to tell the difference. the ideals of equality are shattered, and the farm turns out to be worse than it was before. the animals are manipulated with false propaganda and forced to work in order to enrich the pigs.
