Let’s go step by step through each part of the worksheet.

---

MATCHING: Match each item with its description.

We need to match the character or group on the left with the correct sentence on the right.

1. Hens → Look for something about hens. Option C says: “The truth about milkshakes and other luxuries was kept from this man.” Wait — that doesn’t sound like hens. Let’s check again. Actually, looking at the options:

Wait — let’s read all descriptions carefully:

A. Samson was pleased that this animal visits Animal Farm each night to harm him.
→ That sounds like a predator visiting at night — maybe a fox? But we don’t have fox listed. Hmm.

B. From each egg he hatches two.
→ That’s definitely about roosters or male chickens — but we have “Hens” here. Hens lay eggs, they don’t hatch them usually. Roosters don’t hatch either. Maybe it’s referring to Napoleon? No. Wait — perhaps this is about a rooster? But “Roosters” isn’t an option. Let’s hold off.

C. The truth about milkshakes and other luxuries was kept from this man.
→ This sounds like Boxer or another hardworking animal who didn’t know the pigs were living in luxury. In Animal Farm, Boxer is told lies and kept ignorant. So likely Boxer — but Boxer isn’t listed. Wait — the matching items are: Hens, Trotters, Snowball, Beasts of England, Mr. Whymper, Squealer.

D. Napoleon ordered that this song should no longer be sung since the Rebellion was over.
→ That’s clearly “Beasts of England” — because in the book, Napoleon bans that song later.

E. These animals refused to speak for, and promote the actions of Napoleon.
→ That’s the hens! Because when Napoleon demanded their eggs, they rebelled and refused to give them up. Yes — so Hens → E.

F. Napoleon has friends he deemed as ‘these folk’.
→ That’s probably Mr. Whymper — the human trader who deals with Napoleon. He’s considered a friend (or useful contact) by Napoleon.

G. This creature tried to speak ill against Napoleon while causing some of their deaths.
→ That’s Snowball — he was blamed for everything bad after he was chased away.

So let’s reassign:

- Hens → E (refused to speak/promote Napoleon)
- Trotters → ? Not sure yet. Trotters might refer to pigs’ feet — but in context, maybe it’s a trick? Or perhaps it refers to the pigs themselves? Wait — actually, in some versions, “trotters” could mean the young pigs or just pigs. But let’s see.

Wait — look at A: “Samson was pleased that this animal visits Animal Farm each night to harm him.” Samson? That’s not in Animal Farm. Oh wait — maybe it’s a typo? Perhaps it’s “Napoleon”? Or maybe “Squealer”? No.

Actually — I think there’s a mistake in my reading. Let me double-check the original text.

Looking back:

The matching section says:

_ _ _ _ _ _ Hens
_ _ _ _ _ _ Trotters
_ _ _ _ _ _ Snowball
_ _ _ _ _ _ Beasts of England
_ _ _ _ _ _ Mr. Whymper
_ _ _ _ _ _ Squealer

And descriptions:

A. Samson was pleased that this animal visits Animal Farm each night to harm him.
→ Still confusing. “Samson” isn’t in Animal Farm. Unless it’s a misprint for “Napoleon”? If it’s Napoleon, then maybe it’s referring to Snowball? But Snowball doesn’t visit at night to harm him — he’s gone.

Wait — perhaps “Samson” is meant to be “the dogs”? No.

Alternatively — maybe “Samson” is a red herring or error. Let’s skip and come back.

B. From each egg he hatches two.
→ Again, not making sense for any character. Unless it’s metaphorical? Or maybe it’s about reproduction? Not fitting.

C. The truth about milkshakes and other luxuries was kept from this man.
→ Definitely Boxer — but Boxer isn’t listed. Unless “this man” refers to Mr. Whymper? No, he knows the truth.

Wait — perhaps “this man” is a mistake — maybe “this animal”? And it’s Boxer. But Boxer isn’t in the list.

This is tricky. Let’s try to use logic based on known plot points.

From Animal Farm Chapter 7:

- The hens rebel against giving up their eggs → so Hens = E
- Snowball is blamed for sabotage → G fits Snowball
- Beasts of England is banned → D fits Beasts of England
- Mr. Whymper is the intermediary between farm and humans → F fits Mr. Whymper (“Napoleon has friends he deemed as ‘these folk’”)
- Squealer is the propagandist — he explains things to justify Napoleon’s actions. So maybe B? “From each egg he hatches two” — no, that doesn’t fit.

Wait — description B: “From each egg he hatches two.” — that might be a riddle. Eggs hatch into chicks — but “he”? Maybe it’s not literal. Or perhaps it’s about Squealer spinning stories — turning one lie into many? Stretching.

Description A: “Samson was pleased...” — if we assume “Samson” is a typo for “Napoleon”, then “this animal visits at night to harm him” — that would be Snowball, but Snowball is exiled. Unless it’s Frederick or Pilkington? But they’re humans.

I think there may be errors in the worksheet, but let’s go with best guesses based on standard knowledge.

Standard matches:

- Hens → E (they refused to comply with Napoleon’s egg order)
- Snowball → G (blamed for problems)
- Beasts of England → D (banned by Napoleon)
- Mr. Whymper → F (considered a friend/contact by Napoleon)
- Squealer → ? Possibly C? But C says “kept from this man” — Squealer is the one spreading lies, not being kept in dark.

Wait — description C: “The truth about milkshakes and other luxuries was kept from this man.” — in the book, the common animals (like Boxer) are kept in the dark. But none of the listed characters are Boxer.

Unless “Trotters” refers to the working animals? Unlikely.

Another idea: “Trotters” might be a reference to the pigs’ trotters — meaning the pigs themselves. But still.

Perhaps “Trotters” is matched with B: “From each egg he hatches two.” — no.

Let’s look at description A again: “Samson was pleased that this animal visits Animal Farm each night to harm him.” — if “Samson” is actually “the dogs” or “Napoleon”, and “this animal” is Snowball — but Snowball doesn’t visit.

I recall that in Chapter 7, Napoleon uses the dogs to terrorize, and blames Snowball for nightly raids. So perhaps “this animal” is Snowball, and “Samson” is a mistake for “Napoleon”.

Assume A is for Snowball — but we already have G for Snowball.

G says: “This creature tried to speak ill against Napoleon while causing some of their deaths.” — that’s Snowball.

A says: “visits each night to harm him” — also could be Snowball, but he’s not visiting.

Perhaps it’s Frederick? But not listed.

I think we have to make educated guesses.

Let me assign what I’m sure of:

- Beasts of England → D
- Hens → E
- Snowball → G
- Mr. Whymper → F

Left: Trotters, Squealer

Descriptions left: A, B, C

C: “The truth about milkshakes and other luxuries was kept from this man.” — this must be Boxer, but since Boxer isn't listed, perhaps it's referring to the general populace, but not matching.

B: “From each egg he hatches two.” — this might be a play on words. Squealer "hatches" plans or lies. From one idea, he creates two excuses. So perhaps Squealer → B

Then Trotters → A or C

A: “Samson was pleased...” — if we ignore “Samson” and assume it’s Napoleon, and “this animal” is a traitor — but Trotters aren’t animals per se.

Perhaps “Trotters” is a misnomer for the pigs, and pigs are the ones benefiting from luxuries, so C might fit — but C says the truth was kept FROM this man, implying he is unaware.

I think there’s confusion, but for the sake of completing, let’s go with:

- Hens: E
- Trotters: C (assuming “this man” is a pig who is kept in dark? Doesn’t make sense)
Wait — no.

Another approach: in some contexts, “trotters” can mean children or young ones, but not helpful.

Perhaps “Trotters” is not a character but a thing — like pig’s feet, but unlikely.

Let’s consider that “Trotters” might be a distractor or error, and focus on others.

For Squealer, he is the spinner of tales, so B “from each egg he hatches two” could mean he takes one fact and makes two lies — so Squealer → B

Then for Trotters, only A and C left.

C: “truth kept from this man” — if “man” is Mr. Jones or someone, but not listed.

Perhaps “Trotters” refers to the horses or workers, and they are kept in dark — so C.

But let’s move to TRUE/FALSE for now and come back.

---

TRUE OR FALSE?

Statements:

1. None of the animals on Animal Farm had been killed yet.
→ False. In Chapter 7, several animals are executed after confessing to crimes under pressure. So FALSE.

2. Napoleon is in awe of the animals who stood up to him and oppose the Sunday meetings.
→ False. Napoleon is angry and has them killed. He doesn’t admire them. FALSE.

3. Squealer convinces the animals the actions of Napoleon are working together.
→ True. Squealer always justifies Napoleon’s actions as beneficial. TRUE.

4. The animals had trouble believing that Mr. Jones and Snowball were working together.
→ True. They find it hard to believe Snowball would ally with Jones. TRUE.

5. Moses tells the animals of Napoleon’s anger when they changed him.
→ False. Moses is the raven who talks about Sugarcandy Mountain; he doesn’t report Napoleon’s anger. FALSE.

6. The animals were excited to see the trotters on the Farm killed.
→ False. The executions are terrifying, not exciting. Animals are scared. FALSE.

So T/F answers:

1. F
2. F
3. T
4. T
5. F
6. F

---

VOCABULARY:

Match definition to word.

1. The animals carried on as best they could with the rebuilding of the windmill. → This describes continuing despite difficulty. Best match: D. Unflinchingly? Or B. Perseverance? Definition says “carried on as best they could” — that’s perseverance. So 1 → B

2. The pigs took advantage of the absolute human beings around them. → “Absolute” here might mean total control, but the phrase is odd. Probably means the pigs exploited the humans. Word: A. Peeking superior? No. C. Relentless? Not quite. D. Unflinchingly? No. Perhaps “absolute” is a mistake. Looking at words: A. Peeking superior — doesn’t fit. B. Perseverance — already used. C. Relentless — persistent, harsh. D. Unflinchingly — without hesitation. The sentence says “took advantage of the absolute human beings” — perhaps “absolute” means complete or total, but it’s poorly worded. Maybe it’s “the absolute power” or something. Perhaps it’s C. Relentless — pigs were relentless in exploiting. But let’s see the next.

3. The absolute human beings would never allow the animals to succeed. → Again, “absolute” is confusing. Perhaps it’s “the humans in charge” or “the ruling class”. Word: A. Peeking superior — might mean spying or watching from above, but not fitting. C. Relentless — humans are relentless in opposing animals. D. Unflinchingly — not fitting.

4. She looked at him unflinchingly. → Clearly D. Unflinchingly — without flinching, bravely.

So:

1. B. Perseverance (carrying on despite hardship)

2. ? “took advantage of the absolute human beings” — perhaps it’s a typo, and it’s “the absolute power” or “the situation”. Maybe C. Relentless — pigs were relentless in taking advantage.

3. “absolute human beings would never allow” — perhaps A. Peeking superior — if “peeking” means observing from afar, but not strong. Or C. Relentless — humans are relentless in stopping animals.

4. D. Unflinchingly

Given the words:

A. Peeking superior — probably means someone who watches from a position of superiority, like spying.

B. Perseverance — persistence

C. Relentless — never giving up, harsh

D. Unflinchingly — without fear or hesitation

So:

1. Carried on as best they could → B. Perseverance

2. Took advantage of... → perhaps C. Relentless (pigs were relentless in exploitation)

3. Absolute human beings would never allow → A. Peeking superior? Doesn’t fit well. Or C. Relentless — humans are relentless opponents.

But we have to assign uniquely.

Perhaps:

1. B

2. C (relentless in taking advantage)

3. A (peeking superior — humans watching from above, superior position)

4. D

That seems plausible.

So Vocabulary:

1. B

2. C

3. A

4. D

Now back to Matching.

Let’s finalize Matching with best guesses:

- Hens: E (refused to promote Napoleon)

- Trotters: Let’s say C — “truth kept from this man” — if “man” is a pig, but pigs know the truth. Perhaps it’s a mistake, and it’s for Boxer, but since not listed, maybe Trotters are the workers kept in dark. So C.

- Snowball: G (spoke ill and caused deaths — blamed for sabotage)

- Beasts of England: D (banned)

- Mr. Whymper: F (friends deemed by Napoleon)

- Squealer: B (“from each egg he hatches two” — metaphor for creating multiple lies from one idea)

Then A is left: “Samson was pleased...” — no one left. Perhaps it’s for Trotters, but we assigned C.

Maybe A is for Snowball, but we have G.

I think A might be erroneous, but for completion, let’s assign A to Trotters, assuming “Samson” is Napoleon, and “this animal” is a saboteur, but Trotters aren’t animals.

Perhaps “Trotters” is a typo for “Traitors” or something.

To resolve, I’ll go with:

Matching:

Hens - E

Trotters - C (assuming the "man" is a representative of the working class kept in dark)

Snowball - G

Beasts of England - D

Mr. Whymper - F

Squealer - B

And A is unused or for Snowball, but G is better for Snowball.

In some sources, Squealer is associated with spinning tales, so B fits.

For A, if we must, perhaps it’s for Snowball, but let's stick with above.

So final matching:

1. Hens - E

2. Trotters - C

3. Snowball - G

4. Beasts of England - D

5. Mr. Whymper - F

6. Squealer - B

And A is not used, or perhaps it's a distractor.

Now for the answer format.

Final Answer:

Matching:
Hens - E
Trotters - C
Snowball - G
Beasts of England - D
Mr. Whymper - F
Squealer - B

True or False:
1. F
2. F
3. T
4. T
5. F
6. F

Vocabulary:
1. B
2. C
3. A
4. D

But to write it neatly.
