Select the correct text in the passage. Which sentence in the excerpt best indicates that the writer is addressing a large audience? All Things Considered by G. K. Chesterton (adapted excerpt) Anybody reading these words, and anybody who heard them, will certainly feel that there is in them a great deal of truth, a of geniality. But along with that truth and with that geniality there is a streak of that erroneous type of optimism, which is of which I have spoken above. Before we congratulate ourselves upon the absence of certain faults from our nation or so ourselves why it is that these faults are absent. Are we without the fault because we have the opposite virtue? Or are we because we have the opposite fault? It is a good thing assuredly, to be innocent of any excess; but let us be sure that we excess merely by being guilty of defect. Is it really true that our English political satire is so moderate because it is so ma so saintly? Reset Next dmentum. All rights reserved.​
