Answer:
"he had to talk so properly that speech was become insipid in his mouth"
Explanation:
This is the only detail/option that states how being "civilized" is not all it's cracked up to be. The definition of "insipid" is "lacking flavor."

The phrase/idiom, truly see something, means to to be well informed of "it's existence either as empty or void."
