Read the excerpt from Major's speech in chapter 1 of Animal Farm.

"Fix your eyes on that, comrades, throughout the short remainder of your lives! And above all, pass on this message of mine to those who come after you, so that future generations shall carry on the struggle until it is victorious.

"And remember, comrades, your resolution must never falter. No argument must lead you astray. Never listen when they tell you that Man and the animals have a common interest, that the prosperity of the one is the prosperity of the others. It is all lies. Man serves the interests of no creature except himself. And among us animals let there be perfect unity, perfect comradeship in the struggle. All men are enemies. All animals are comrades."

Which prediction does this passage best support?

The animals will learn that Major has purposefully lied to them.
The animals on the farm will die as a result of human actions.
Man and some animals will ultimately share similar goals.
Most of the animals will refuse to pass on Major’s teachings.
