In the space below, write an explanatory essay of at least 500 words. Discuss how your chosen characters and their actions express and develop the two themes you've selected. Use details from the story and information about historical events to support your ideas

The prompt is "major characters in novels or plays often encounter moral, physical or psychological dangers or choices. The ways in which the characters respond to these situations frequently reveal the authors' meaning. Analyze how the dangers or choices characters have to make are used by authors to develop their themes." I doubt that it can be applied to Animal Farm exactly. At least you will get the idea how the author chose the characters. As the back-up, you may turn for the help to the guys I personally know. Check PrimeWritings site for more details.

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.

i believe the answer is: b. mr. head had a long, tube-like face with a rounded open jaw and a short depressed nose.

this is because in the un-revised sentence it said that mr. heads face was long and tube-like, and he had a rounded open jaw. this is not a very grammatically correct because of how it seems to drag on with the and, replaced with, with, makes it sound more fluent in the description.
