Mr. Pilkington, of Foxwood, had stood up, his mug in his
mand. In a moment, he said, he would ask the present
company to drink a toast. But before doing so, there
were a few words that he felt it incumbent upon him to
say.
It was a source of great satisfaction to him, he said-
and, he was sure, to all others present to feel that a

Final answer:

The two consequences of the farmers' perception of Animal Farm in the excerpt are their impression at how well the farm is managed and their concern that their animals might also rebel.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question pertains to the results from human farmers' perceptions of Animal Farm, as described in the excerpt provided. From the options given, the two that result from the farmers' changed views on Animal Farm are:

  1. The farmers are impressed with how well the farm is run.
  2. The farmers fear that their animals will rebel as well.

Mr. Pilkington's toast indicates that any mistrust or misgivings about Animal Farm have been replaced with a sense of satisfaction, implying that they are impressed by its management. Moreover, the history of Animal Farm as a successful self-run entity by animals could naturally lead human farmers to fear the possibility of rebellion among their own animals.
