This is a personal question. I will answer below according to the word that was unfamiliar to me, but feel free to add to the answer in case there were more for you.
Answer and Explanation:
The word that I found unfamiliar and whose meaning I did not know at first was "behest". I had never seen that word before. To understand its meaning, I looked for context clues. <u>The rest of the sentence in which "behest" appears functions as a clue to finding its meaning. It says that, at a person's behest, something happened: "the Exhibition dropped its superfluous rags and stripped itself. . ." As soon as I read this part, it made me think of the word "command." For instance, the sentence "At the general's command, the troops advanced" has a similar connotation to the one with "behest".</u>
To confirm my assumptions, I looked the word up online and found it indeed means "order" or "command".
Answer:
Que no debemos dejarnos llevar la ambición ni el llegar al poder de cualquier precio, incluso pasando por encima del interés general del bienestar de las personas.
The paragraph should be about
How calm/quiet the it is because "or sound"
It can have something to do with peaceful.
There was a decision made because "they did not move the Inchcape bell"
I guess this excerpt rhymes.
