The correct answer is answer C ("The words with positive connotations soften the ones with negative connotations to create a serious, matter-of-fact tone").

The tone of this excerpt is remarkably pragmatic for speaking about such horrific matter. Machiavelli achieves this by never losing sight of his aim, which is to instruct efficiency. <u>He's very aware of the delicate nature of the subject matter</u>. Without omitting important details even though they may seem cruel or gruesome, he's able to keep a cold tone by neutralizing these negative connotations with positive language.

This effect is made more clear in the last paragraph:

"For <u>injuries</u> ought to be done all at one time, so that, <u>being tasted less,</u> <u>offend less</u>..." - Here he's talking about necessary punishment and mercy at the same time.

"Benefits ought to be given <u>little by little</u>, so that the <u>flavour may last longer</u>..." - Machiavelli is talking about manipulation and using the word flavour which has a positive connotation that softens the cruel nature of the act.


Hope this helps!

Dear Saptak,

How are you? I am doing well. You will be glad to know I have taken admission to Central School. The school building stands tall in the middle of a large ground.

I was apprehensive of starting overall again in a new environment. To my surprise, the school has welcomed me with an open heart. Our teachers treat us like their own children. They teach with great interest. I have made new friends also. They are very co-operative and we help each other in our studies.

The playground is the man attraction of the school. We have plenty of co-curricular activities which I love the most. I am elated to be able to continue with my football practice. I am fortunate enough to become the captain of our junior school team I am coping up in the new school, I often miss my old friends.

How are you doing with your studies? You must be working hard. Take care of yourself. Please convey my regards to your parents.

Yours Sincerely,

Anuj
