Question

"There is always a tendency among very young men and

among boys who are not quite young men as yet to think that
to be wicked is rather smart; to think it shows that they are
men. Oh, how often you see some young fellow who boasts
that he is going to ""see life,"" meaning by that that he is going
to see that part of life which it is a thousandfold better should
remain unseen! I ask that every man here constitute himself his
brother's keeper by setting an example to that younger
brother which will prevent him from getting such a false
estimate of life.

Answer 1

The intended audience is best represented by the phrase where the speaker asks every man present to be a role model for the younger generation, highlighting the responsibility of adults.

Step-by-step explanation:

The phrase from the quotation that best shows the intended audience is "I ask that every man here constitute himself his brother's keeper by setting an example to that younger brother which will prevent him from getting such a false estimate of life." This phrase directly addresses the listeners ('every man here') and assigns them the responsibility of becoming role models for the 'younger brother', which illustrates that the speaker is primarily talking to an audience of adults with the intent of influencing their behavior towards the younger generation.
