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.

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Now we both are in 8th grade, and it has took us a long time to reach till here and having our own self respect in front of our teachers. All the responsibilities that we were in-charged of and all those matches whose captain we were made of, has really contributed in showing our potential to the other fellow students as well as teachers. If u join another school, then, u need to again prove urself to the other person's present there. All the memories that u have in this school will be unforgettable. It will take a lot of time for u to settle in a new environment, and this will have a great impact on ur studies. I hope u understand that leaving this school is not a good decision.

hope it helps!
