Read the excerpt from Animal Farm.

As Clover looked down the hillside her eyes filled with tears. If she could have spoken her thoughts, it would have been to say that this was not what they had aimed at when they had set themselves years ago to work for the overthrow of the human race. These scenes of terror and slaughter were not what they had looked forward to on that night when old Major first stirred them to rebellion. If she herself had had any picture of the future, it had been of a society of animals set free from hunger and the whip, all equal, each working according to his capacity, the strong protecting the weak, as she had protected the lost brood of ducklings with her foreleg on the night of Major's speech. Instead—she did not know why—they had come to a time when no one dared speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed everywhere, and when you had to watch your comrades torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes. There was no thought of rebellion or disobedience in her mind.

Answer:

B. Clover experiences distress because her beliefs go against what Old Major taught her.

Explanation:

Clover experiences distress because Old Major had told all the animals of animal farm that when the rebellion was a success the animals would be free. They would no longer have small rations of food, nor would they have to get the whip. All the animals were happy about this, when they did carry out the rebellion and Napolean kicked out snowball and became corrupt with power, he took matters into his own hooves. To remain in power he uses the dogs as protection and the animals as his slaves basically, to keep them in his power he convinces them with the help of the convincing squeler. Clover can't do anything but sit aside and cry because if she were to have any thought of disobedience, she would be ripped to shreds.
