Question

Read the passage from chapter 1 of Animal Farm.

Last of all came the cat, who looked round, as usual, for the warmest place, and finally squeezed herself in between Boxer and Clover; there she purred contentedly throughout Major's speech without listening to a word of what he was saying.

What does this excerpt tell us most about the cat?

She sleeps a lot.
She is content.
She feels cold.
She is unconcerned.

Answer 1

She is unconcerned.

The cat ignores Major's speech—looking only for the warmest spot and purring "without listening to a word"—showing indifference rather than engagement.
