Orwell links the parallel structures in this excerpt from Animal Farm using a coordinating conjunction.

Explanation:

Coordinating conjunctions are words used to link two or more elements of equal syntactic importance or grammatical rank, e.g. nouns, adjectives, verbs, phrases, or independent clauses.

There are seven coordinating conjunctions:

  • for
  • and
  • nor
  • but
  • or
  • yet
  • so

A word that could help you memorize all of the coordinating conjunction is FANBOYS. As you can see, each letter of this word is a letter one of these conjunctions begins with.

The sentence The other farmers sympathized in principle, but they did not at first give him much help consists of two independent clauses:

  • The other farmers sympathized in principle.
  • They did not at first give him much help.

These two clauses are connected by the word but, which is one of the listed coordinating conjunctions. So, the correct answer is B.
