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.

What might Thomas Jefferson have said to change George Washington's opinion of political
blondinia [14]

Answer: But Thomas Jefferson, who was serving a diplomatic post in France during the Constitutional Convention, believed it was a mistake not to provide for different political parties in the new government. “Men by their constitutions are naturally divided into two parties,’’ he would write in 1824.

In fact, when Washington ran unopposed to win the first presidential election in the nation’s history, in 1789, he chose Jefferson for his Cabinet so it would be inclusive of differing political viewpoints. “I think he had been warned if he didn't have Jefferson in it, then Jefferson might oppose his government,” Randall says.
