Question

Read the excerpt from Animal Farm.

Mr. Pilkington, of Foxwood, had stood up, his mug in his hand. 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 long period of mistrust and misunderstanding had now come to an end. There had been a time—not that he, or any of the present company, had shared such sentiments—but there had been a time when the respected proprietors of Animal Farm had been regarded, he would not say with hostility, but perhaps with a certain measure of misgiving, by their human neighbours. Unfortunate incidents had occurred, mistaken ideas had been current. It had been felt that the existence of a farm owned and operated by pigs was somehow abnormal and was liable to have an unsettling effect in the neighbourhood. Too many farmers had assumed, without due enquiry, that on such a farm a spirit of licence and indiscipline would prevail. They had been nervous about the effects upon their own animals, or even upon their human employees. But all such doubts were now dispelled. Today he and his friends had visited Animal Farm and inspected every inch of it with their own eyes, and what did they find? Not only the most up-to-date methods, but a discipline and an orderliness which should be an example to all farmers everywhere. He believed that he was right in saying that the lower animals on Animal Farm did more work and received less food than any animals in the county. Indeed, he and his fellow-visitors today had observed many features which they intended to introduce on their own farms immediately.

What results from the human farmers’ visit to Animal Farm? Select two options.

The farmers fear that their animals will rebel as well.
The farmers are impressed with how well the farm is run.
The farmers vow to implement the same kinds of systems.
The farmers decide that they want to be a part of the farm.
The farmers are upset that the animals distrust them.

Answer 1

My best 2 options are:

• The farmers are impressed with how well the farm is run.
• The farmers vow to implement the same kinds of systems.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this excerpt from Animal Farm, the human farmer Mr. Pilkington speaks to the other human farmers at a meeting and describes his visit to Animal Farm, which is owned and operated by pigs. He expresses his satisfaction with the farm and notes that it is run with great discipline and orderliness, using up-to-date methods. He and his fellow-visitors are so impressed with the farm that they decide to implement similar systems on their own farms. Mr. Pilkington does not mention any fear or distrust on the part of the human farmers towards the animals on Animal Farm, nor does he suggest that the farmers want to be a part of the farm. Rather, he indicates that the farmers are impressed with the farm and want to learn from it.
