Answer:

b. A piece instructive in values

Step-by-step explanation:

The passage is a piece instructive in values. The values being touted are basically those of bravery and courage in the face of danger and confrontation by enemies. The speaker condemned a man who asked to be given peace in his lifetime. That was an act of cowardice, for the man should have fought so that his children might have peace.

The speaker was clearly against offensive confrontation, but believed in defending his territory when it was under attack.
