The cake seemed easy after going over the recipe for me to make.
<em>Machiavelli's active role in the politics of his time .</em> This is the correct option.
Machiavelli in 1498 was appointed by the Florence government as a member of different departments. First, he worked for the chancery and then, he worked for a council responsible for the diplomatic relationships among states. He did all these activities during a period of social conflicts and when Florence was a new republic.
These options are not right.
-His study of rhetoric and the art of persuasion. ( This could have given him the means but not the experience of political life).
-His admiration of Lorenzo de Medici and his teachings. ( The Medici sent him to prison).
-His admiration of the Church's role in politics. ( He did not admire the Church; he was critical about the influnce the Church had on<em> citizens</em>).
This insect is called the terror of the insect world because mainly they are aggressive seemingly. These predators and eat many smaller insects and dragonflies are considerably pretty large too which is why it is called this way. Hope this helped!
