Read the excerpt below: It is in the clay part of Kent, and my bungalow stood on the edge of an old sea cliff and stared across the flats of Romney Marsh at the sea. In very wet weather the place is almost inaccessible, and I have heard that at times the postman used to traverse the more succulent portions of his route with boards upon his feet.
In the excerpt above from The First Men in the Moon, what can the reader infer about the setting?

The story takes place in the past.
The story begins in a busy port city.
The home is in a remote place.
The house is in danger of falling off the cliff.

The home is in a remote place

Explanation:

Key parts in the text that explain this is the line "...the place is almost inaccessiable..." and how the description of the setting of the house is shown as being on a sea cliff, looking out onto the sea. That would reccomend that it is the only house in the area, or generallly distant from others.

in this passage from chapter 6 of "animal farm", by george orwell, what the author is ridiculing in this passage is the frivolity of some rules.

clover, the mare, believes she remembers that the fourth commandment forbade sleeping in beds because it was something that humans did. snowball, napoleon, and the pigs are brain-workers who look after the welfare of the farm. they are the obvious leaders because they are smart, and so they are entitled to eat the best food and sleep in beds. it is squealer, who says these lines making the difference between sleeping with sheets, what humans do, and sleeping in beds, what pigs do. the unwillingness to question authority makes the oppressed to obey without thinking.
