Example question:

Is the cat a good worker?

 

Example answer:

 

          In the novel Animal Farm, the cat was not a good worker. In fact, the cat avoided work as much as possible. When it came time for the animals to do their farmwork, the cat would “vanish for hours”(19). Even though the cat did not work, it would always be present for “meal-times”. The cat was lazy, but it made “excellent excuses”, so the other animals put up with it.

         

Example question: broad question
