C because it’s talking about forgetting when the battle of Gettysburg occurred
Answer:
The essay initially pretends to be a critique of a type of self-improvement book popular at the time, which claimed to tell how to achieve success. These books defined success strictly in financial terms and assumed that if anyone follows certain steps, they will be able to duplicate the accomplishments of wealthy business owners. However, Chesterton’s review of these books includes a broader social criticism. The focus on the definition of success strictly in terms of money is central to his essay. But wrapped around that issue is the idea that each person can or should perceive success on the same terms as a business leader. He illustrates the point by saying a donkey is successful at being a donkey as much as a millionaire is successful at being a millionaire, so there is no point in calling a donkey a failed millionaire or vice versa.

Well, generally I don't agree with keeping animals in the circus.
But I guess in some rare cases, provided that the animals are really well treated (which excludes the bigger species, since they can't possibly not be stressed by the small amount of space circus offers), and provided that for whatever reason they can't live in the wild, (their environment is disappearing or they're hurt and would be rejected in a group), I guess it would be acceptable to keep them in a circus.
It would probably work best for the species that more readily socialize with humans: dogs, some monkeys. Again, this would only be acceptable if animal welfare was always in the first place, and if for examples the animals could refuse performing on a given day.
In those circumstances, a circus could provide a predator- free environment for them, which would be beneficial for the animals (but again, I am very skeptical this is ever the case).
