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. He's very aware of the delicate nature of the subject matter. 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 injuries ought to be done all at one time, so that, being tasted less, offend less..." - Here he's talking about necessary punishment and mercy at the same time.

"Benefits ought to be given little by little, so that the flavour may last longer..." - 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!

Your chum has been a perpetual truants in class.write a letter to his or her guardian's reporting his or her behaviour and likel

VLD [36.1K]

To write a letter to someone's guardians:

First, address the guardians. If we do not know the name of them, write Dear sir or madam. If we do, we write dear Mr (surname) and Mrs (surname).

In the first paragraph, greet them and introduce the reason for our letter. In this case, it is to inform about the behavior of our friend.

In the body of the letter, explain in detail the letter's topic. In other words, explain how the person is not assisting to classes and the likely repercussions that this can have. For example, we can inform them about the possibility of failing in tests or the subject or having to attend summer school. Also, we can talk about how this can impact in the future, as regards universities.

In the last paragraph, there should be a sentence explaining your concern. Besides, ask the guardians for help.

Say goodbye in a formal way, such as "yours faithfully or kindest regards." Lastly, sing the letter.

Before writing the letter, brainstorm some ideas, like immediate and long-term consequences for truants in class.

After you have ideas, plan every section of the letter. You can have some draft sentences and a list of connectors that you would use.

Lastly, join the different parts and complete them with some more information or accurate words.
