Evidence that the author uses to show the cruelty of a ruler can be inferred from the following context of the story:

''And of all princes, it is impossible for the new prince to avoid the imputation of cruelty, owing to new states being full of dangers. Hence Virgil, through the mouth of Dido, excuses the inhumanity of her reign owing to its being new, saying:

"Res dura, et regni novitas me talia cogunt

Moliri, et late fines custode tueri."(*)

Option C is the correct answer.

<h3>What is the evidence?</h3>

Evidence is something that supports the claims being raised by the accused party over the defending party.

The evidence from the passage where the author says that it is impossible for the new kings to ignore the cruelty when there is danger from the new states. This leads to the inhumanity being excused by Virgil in her ruling.

Therefore, the explanation given in part C is the evidence that the author uses to show the cruelty of the new kings.

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

B: It gives the reader information about the relationship Icarus had with his father.

Explanation:

You did not present the two passages to which the question refers. However, taking into account the attached passage and assuming that it is passage 1, we can say that it helps to understand the relationship between Icarus and his father. This is because it shows how close they are to drawing up a plan together and giving them freedom. In addition, it shows Dedalus' concern about the height that Icarus was flying and his disappearance after the fall. This shows that there was a strong father-son relationship between them.
