They detest war as a very brutal thing, and which, to the reproach of human nature, is more practised by men than by any sort of

beasts. They, in opposition to the sentiments of almost all other nations, think that there is nothing more inglorious than that glory that is gained by war; and therefore, though they accustom themselves daily to military exercises and the discipline of war, in which not only their men, but their women likewise, are trained up, that, in cases of necessity, they may not be quite useless, yet they do not rashly engage in war, unless it be either to defend themselves or their friends from any unjust aggressors, or, out of good nature or in compassion, assist an oppressed nation in shaking off the yoke of tyranny.
Which quotation from the passage best summarizes the central idea?

The correct answer is option A.

The central idea in the passage is clearly expressed in the topic sentence, in which the narrator or author expresses that they detest war. The rest of the sentences give evidence and reasons to support the thesis of the topic sentence: they believe glory gained in war is inglorious, and they are trained in military exercises just in case they need to defend themselves or others.
