The type of language dominant is this passage is D. figurative.

Explanation:

The term figurative language is used to describe the way writers employ words and phrases with meanings different from the original ones. There are several types or manners in which figurative language can be used. One of the most common ones is a simile, which is exactly what we have in the passage. A simile is a figure of speech used with the intention of making a comparison - stating a similarity - between two different things. It uses words such as "as" or "like".

“The poppies bobbed their heads like helmeted soldiers in formation.”

In the passage, the poppies are being compared to soldiers in formation. The purpose of such comparison is to attribute the characteristics of one element to the other. In this case, maybe the poppies were all aligned, moving in unison as the wind blew, just like soldiers are aligned and move in unison.

animal farm, written by george orwell, is a representation of russia after the revolution that led stalin to take over power.

in this excerpt, the central idea seems to be that the animals (a representation of society), when they believe to be working for a greater good and equality, are obedient and productive. they were convinced that, after expelling the owner (jones) from the farm, they would live in harmony and be fairly treated.

as we know, the pigs become the leaders and grow more selfish and dictatorial with time. in the end, they look and act in a way so similar to humans that it is impossible to tell the difference. the ideals of equality are shattered, and the farm turns out to be worse than it was before. the animals are manipulated with false propaganda and forced to work in order to enrich the pigs.
