Answer 1

"The passage describes a year in which the animals work extremely hard but feel a sense of accomplishment."

Reason: Framing events across a year (slower, sustained pacing) emphasizes the animals' sustained effort and growing confidence, revealing traits like diligence, perseverance, and pride rather than abrupt change or mere plot movement.
