Read the passage from utopia.
this was the only ground of that war in which they engaged with the nephelogetes against the aleopolitanes, a little before our time; for the merchants of the former having, as they thought, met with great injustice among the latter, which (whether it was in itself right or wrong) drew on a terrible war, in which many of their neighbours were engaged; and their keenness in carrying it on being supported by their strength in maintaining it, it not only shook some very flourishing states and very much afflicted others, but, after a series of much mischief ended in the entire conquest and slavery of the aleopolitanes, who, though before the war they were in all respects much superior to the nephelogetes, were yet subdued; but, though the utopians had assisted them in the war, yet they pretended to no share of the spoil.

the purpose of this passage is to provide an

anecdote to illustrate the circumstances under which Utopians go to war.

Before discussing this anecdote, More explains that Utopians do not normally go to war. They do so only under special circumstances, and take no pride in it. He proceeds to tell an anecdote that supports his statement. This story shows that the Utopians engage in war only to prevent more bloodshed and return to a state of peace. Moreover, even though they fight, they do not share in the spoils of the war. This anecdote illustrates why Utopians go to war and how they behave when they do.

modifying the base for word

for me, i'd go with (c) satisfied or (b) overjoyed because if you read it a couple of times, it makes since that it is c or b. it can't b (a) angry because booker was never angry about anything. at the end of the paragraph, booker states, "i think there are not many men in our country who have had the privilege of naming themselves in the way that i " i think that sentence kind of gives away the also, some words in the paragraph can also you like for example, "indulged," "calmly," "perplexity," "privilege," and defining words that you don't know, can you understand more of that paragraph and it can also increase your comprehension. : )
