Read the excerpt below and answer the question. until now the animals had been about equally divided in their sympathies, but in a moment snowball's eloquence had carried them away. answer asap which word is used to separate the two independent clauses in this excerpt from orwell's animal farm? a. about b. but c. had d. them

B. but

Explanation: Independent clauses can only be divided by coordinating conjunctions such as and, or or but. None of the other options are possible because about is a preposition, had is a verb and them is a personal pronoun. Also, but is the only word in the options which has a complete clause (subject+predicate) both before and after it.

the correct answer is a "it describes nora and mrs. linde's relationship". opcions b and d are not related to the content of the passage in any way. option c could be appropiate but it does not fully capture the effect of the dialogue, while option a is quite appropiate, since the dialogue not only exemplifies the relationship between the characters, but it also captures the effect in the excerpt. we get to know that mrs linde bosses around and already knows nora.
