Mercutio: Where the devil should this Romeo be? Came he not home to-night?

Benvolio: Not to his father's; I spoke with his man.

Mercutio: Why that same pale hard-hearted wench, that Rosaline,
Torments him so, that he will sure run mad.

Benvolio: Tybalt, the kinsman of old Capulet,
Hath sent a letter to his father's house.

Mercutio: A challenge, on my life.

Benvolio: Romeo will answer it.

Mercutio: Any man that can write may answer a letter.

Benvolio: Nay, he will answer the letter's master, how he dares, being dared.

—Romeo and Juliet,
William Shakespeare

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.

the answer is a.

explanation:

the clause "looking toward the south" modifies "a funnel cloud." it's not really the cloud that's "looking," but grammatically, that clause is modifying the cloud.
