Read the excerpt from chapter 6 of Animal Farm.

Every human being held it as an article of faith that the farm would go bankrupt sooner or later, and, above all, that the windmill would be a failure. They would meet in the public-houses and prove to one another by means of diagrams that the windmill was bound to fall down, or that if it did stand up, then that it would never work. And yet, against their will, they had developed a certain respect for the efficiency with which the animals were managing their own affairs.

What do the actions of the humans in this passage most reveal about their motivations and values?

They are motivated by the completion of a task.
They value others’ contributions equally.
They are motivated by others' failures.
They value efficiency and accomplishment.
