Read the following passage from Orwell's Animal Farm:

"At this there was a terrible baying sound outside, and nine enormous dogs wearing brass-studded collars came bounding into the barn. They dashed straight for Snowball, who only sprang from his place just in time to escape their snapping jaws."

Which citation could be used to support the idea of an ominous scene?

"terrible baying sound"

"nine enormous dogs"

"bounding into the barn"

"Snowball, who only sprang"

Answer: I would contend that the right answer is the A) "terrible baying sound."

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that an ominous scene is suggestive of an unpleasant event that is about to happen. The facts that the dogs were numerous and enormous (option B), that they were bounding into the barn (option C), and that Snowball sprang just in time (option D) are not necessarily suggestive of an upcoming unpleasant event. A terrible baying sound, however, does suggest a threatening sign.

I think that it could be either Bouncing into the barn or nine enormous dogs, because it mainly talk about the dog.
