Question

select the correct answer.
read this adapted excerpt from \the third philippic,\ written by demosthenes in 342 b.c.:
it is this fate, i solemnly assure you, that i dread for you, when the time comes that you make your reckoning, and realize that there is no longer
anything that can be done. may you never find yourselves, men of athens, in such a position! yet in any case, if it were better to suffer greatly, than to
anything out of servility towards philip or to sacrifice any of those who speak for your good. a noble recompense did the people in oeans
receive, for entrusting themselves to philips friends, and thrusting euphraeus aside! and a noble recompense did the democracy of eretria, for driving
away your envoys, and surrendering to cleitarchus! a noble clemency did he show to the olynthians, who elected lasthenes to command the
cavalry, and banished apollonides! it is folly, and it is cowardice, to cherish hopes like these, to give way to evil courses, to refuse to do anything
that you should do, to listen to the advocates of the enemys cause, and to fancy that you dwell in so great a city that, whatever happens, you will
not suffer any harm.
