Question

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 value efficiency and accomplishment.

Explanation:

The humans are hoping the windmill (a project of the animals) fails. They hold it as an article of faith that the farm will go bankrupt (related to the windmill's failure). Their actions of meeting in public - houses and making diagrams to prove the windmill's failure show they are motivated by others' (the animals') failures.

Answer:

They are motivated by others’ failures.
