Question

Read the passage from Animal Farm.

In the end they finished the harvest in two days' less time than it had usually taken Jones and his men. Moreover, it was the biggest harvest that the farm had ever seen. There was no wastage whatever; the hens and ducks with their sharp eyes had gathered up the very last stalk. And not an animal on the farm had stolen so much as a mouthful.

What is the central idea of this passage?

The animals are scared to steal.
The animals work efficiently in harmony.
The animals wish they had humans to help them.
The animals do not have time to rest or eat meals.

Answer 1

The animals work efficiently in harmony.

They finish the harvest faster than before, produce the biggest harvest, leave no waste, and none of them steal — showing cooperative, disciplined labor.
