I was standing in the middle of the night in a deep black canyon with three
companions, straining to hear the volcano Whisper its menace. Above us, a blizzard
had smothered the mountain and blotted out the violent red glow I had seen from a
plane three days before. We had tried to get up the 5,466ft volcano in our guide's
super-jeep but were defeated by the weather. We were aware of the occasional
muffled explosion and the heavy, sulphurous stench of the beast
I asked our guide what he would do if the mountain exploded like it had in the winter
of 1821. He rubbed his chin and concluded that we would not make it. The only
chance would be to leave the jeep to escape the flash flood of rocks, new lava, ice,
mud and water. But then we would have the volcanic ash to deal with, to say nothing
of the lightning that usually accompanies a major eruption.

in this passage from "animal farm", by george orwell, the statement that best explains how boxer's response supports the author's purpose in writing an allegory is option b) orwell uses boxer's decision to avoid more carnage by working hard to show how the working class was manipulated. boxer and the other animals feel they are responsible for their carnage because napoleon uses propaganda to manipulate the animals of the farm.

explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
