Read the passage from utopia. they detest war as a very brutal thing, and which, to the reproach of human nature, is more practised by men than by any sort of beasts. they, in opposition to the sentiments of almost all other nations, think that there is nothing more inglorious than that glory that is gained by war; and therefore, though they accustom themselves daily to military exercises and the discipline of war, in which not only their men, but their women likewise, are trained up, that, in cases of necessity, they may not be quite useless, yet they do not rashly engage in war, unless it be either to defend themselves or their friends from any unjust aggressors, or, out of good nature or in compassion, assist an oppressed nation in shaking off the yoke of tyranny. which quotation from the passage best summarizes the central idea? a)they detest war as a very brutal thing, and which, to the reproach of human nature, is more practised by men than by any sort of beasts. b)they, in opposition to the sentiments of almost all other nations, think that there is nothing more inglorious than that glory that is gained by war . .c). . they accustom themselves daily to military exercises and the discipline of war, in which not only their men, but their women likewise, are trained up . .d). . they do not rashly engage in war, unless it be either to defend themselves or their friends from any unjust aggressors, or, out of good nature .

The passage that best summarizes the central idea is D. they do not rashly engage in war, unless it be either to defend themselves or their friends from any unjust aggressors, or, out of good nature.

The whole excerpt tells us that Utopians despise war but, nevertheless, train for it and engage in it in certain scenarios. Passage D is the only one that tells us both these things: that they don't like war but engage in it sometimes.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
