Question

correct any errors in capitalization or punctuation. your answer should be a single sentence. \on the whole,\ george orwell quipped, \human beings want to be good, but not too good\.

Explanation:

The original sentence has a punctuation error. When a quotation ends a sentence, the period should be inside the closing quotation mark. So we move the period from outside to inside the second quotation mark.

Answer:

"On the whole," George Orwell quipped, "human beings want to be good, but not too good."
