Explanation;

Both tragedy and comedy are genres of literature that commonly display fictional stories, character, and events; however, they differ in their focus and features. In the case of tragedy, this has a sad ending and the situations presented include mostly events that focus on suffering and difficult situations the characters are unable to overcome.

On the other hand, the comedy focuses on humor and entertaining situations, has a happy ending and aims at entertaining and making the audience laugh rather than making them feel bad about characters. According to this, the statement that shows the difference between tragedy and comedy is "A tragedy has characters who suffer pain and loss, while a comedy has funny situations and a happy ending".

the excerpt from chapter 2 of "animal farm", by george orwell that is an example of foreshadowing is "these three (snowball, napoleon, and squealer) had elaborated old major's teachings into a complete system of thought to which they gave the name of animalism." animal farm is an allegory of how czarist russia developed into communist russia with all its corruption. old major's teachings represent marx's theories turned into communism, animalism, by the three pigs. this foreshadows the oppression and corruption that will follow this revolt.
