Question

asceticism (and praying about what is in our own hearts), to that degree we have allowed ourselves to think that the prevention of war is an easy thing and 75 require no arms. if men were “different,” to be sure, there would be no wars. but would they still be men? chesterton did not think so. wars and liberty were correlatives in some fundamental way. chesterton understood the real danger of pacifism, the danger of being unable effectively to stand for the right. we would be naive to think that our laws contain no “lawlessness,” against which lawlessness we must be free enough and brave enough to 76 employ our revolutionist and insurrectionist instincts. on november 11th of the same year, chesterton wrote of reading an essay in the nation entitled “on chivalry in war.” the idea that there are rules or manners or traditions in war might at first sight seem outlandish, though it was the whole effort of the middle ages 77 bringing such practices about. the essay in the nation began by affirming that today all people think that war is “fundamentally criminal.” 78 this sort of thinking seemed to chesterton to be very sloppy. anyone who believes this proposition about the essential criminality of war—pacifists must believe this—is someone who simply “refuses to think.” rather, “war, like weather, cannot in itself be either criminal or saintly; and war as an action undertaken by certain persons may be either one or the other. only in a state of fallen intelligence akin to fetish - worship could (we) ever have dropped

c)

Explanation:

For question 75, the subject "the prevention of war" is singular, so the verb should be "requires". For question 76, "employ" in this context means to use, and it is the most appropriate word among the options. For question 77, the correct form is "to bring" as it is an infinitive of purpose. For question 78, the original "This sort of thinking seemed to Chesterton to be very sloppy" has a more formal and appropriate tone compared to the other options.

Answer:

1. B) requires
2. A) NO CHANGE
3. D) to bring
4. A) NO CHANGE
