Question

In Farewell Address, George Washington most hopes to be remembered as a president whose long years of service outweighed any faults he may have had. Which passage from the text most strongly supports that hope? Question 7 options: a) “Though, in reviewing the incidents of my administration, I am unconscious of intentional error, I am nevertheless too sensible of my defects not to think it probable that I may have committed many errors.” b) “Who can doubt that, in the course of time and things, the fruits of such a plan would richly repay any temporary advantages which might be lost by a steady adherence to it?” c) “I shall also carry with me the hope that my country will never cease to view them with indulgence; and that, after forty five years of my life dedicated to its service with an upright zeal, the faults of incompetent abilities will be consigned to oblivion, as myself must soon be to the mansions of rest.” d) “...I anticipate with pleasing expectation that retreat in which I promise myself to realize, without alloy, the sweet enjoyment of partaking, in the midst of my fellow-citizens, the benign influence of good laws under a free government, the ever-favorite object of my heart, and the happy reward, as I trust, of our mutual cares, labors, and dangers.”

Answer 1

Answer:

The passage that most strongly supports that hope is:

c) “I shall also carry with me the hope that my country will never cease to view them with indulgence; and that, after forty five years of my life dedicated to its service with an upright zeal, the faults of incompetent abilities will be consigned to oblivion, as myself must soon be to the mansions of rest.”

Explanation:

First, let's remember what we are looking for. We want a passage in which Washington says he wishes people will forgive his mistakes and faults due to his dedication as a president. When we analyze what is said in letter C, that is precisely what we find. Washington is saying that he hopes people will be able to look at his past faults with tolerance - my country will never cease to view them with indulgence. He hopes his long years of service will outweigh such faults, causing people to forget (or forgive) them - after forty five years of my life dedicated to its service with an upright zeal, the faults of incompetent abilities will be consigned to oblivion. Therefore, the best answer is letter C.
