MCQs on the setting in Animal Farm by George Orwell. 

Animal Farm has some highly-specific details about its setting, although it is vague in many ways, befitting its original designation as a fairy tale.  It is relatively easy to envisage the farmhouse and the landscape, but somewhat more difficult to determine the time, or the number of years over which the events occur. This adds to the impression that the allegory applies to repeated events over the past as well as those which might take place in future.
