Yeats classifies “passionate intensity” as worse than a “lack of conviction” because <em>A “passionate intensity” for certain ideals can be destructive.</em>

Yeats refers in this poem ,"The Second Coming" , to the consequences of WWI. Therefore, the ideals leading the war are destructive and do a lot of harm with passion. He  says that good people - <em>The bes</em>t - are the ones who do not have any conviction. They are at a loss. They suffer the consequences of the " passionate" war ideals.

In this famous poem, titled "The Second Coming", Yeats criticizes religious passion, in the last verse he declares to now know <em>"That twenty centuries of stony sleep/Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle"</em>, in this passage he makes the same argument as in the question's passage, he criticizes the sleep of ignorance and how it became a nightmare due to passion. Therefore the first option is the right one.

Answer:

The lowest level of thinking skills is remembering, and the highest is creating. To envision that, let’s compare reciting the Pledge of Allegiance (remember level) to composing meaningful lyrics to add to it (create level). You would invest quite a bit of effort when learning and remembering the pledge. But you would eventually commit it to memory so that reciting it would be easy. Composing lyrics, on the other hand, would always require the same high level of thought because you’re creating something new each time you compose.  If you are asked to organize a number of CDs by the artist’ name, you would naturally employ thinking at the level of understanding. Thinking at the level of understanding for this task allows you to first recognize you must use the alphabet to place the CDs in order. Second, you will use your ability to compare artist names to determine where they will be placed in relation to all other CDs. Critical thinking is the process of questioning assumptions and exploring possibilities. Critical thinking is necessary when you judge, evaluate, or compare a topic as long as you do so in a reasonable and reflective way.

This answer only includes 1:remember 2:understand 5:evaluate and 6:create
