Answer:

good.

Step-by-step explanation:

This excerpt is taken from Plato's book "The Republic". This book was written 380 BC. This book still remains as one of the world's most influential works written by Plato in the field of philosophy and politics.

In his book 1 of "The Republic", Plato states definition of Justice by Cephalus, Polemarchus, and Thrasymachus.

In his book 2, from which this excerpt is taken, he continues to define justice further. And raising questions like , why do people practice justice, is it because of the fear of punishment?

In his book he talks about "nature and education" as a guardian.He says that a well-trained guardian will praise "good things and receive them with honor. And will continue to be nurtured with them to be "fine and good."
