Do you have a paragraph reference I could read?
<span>Great Schism refers to:
</span>
a. a religious divide between Eastern and Western Europe
From 1378 to 1417, the Roman Catholic church has disagreements between rival popes at Avignon and Rome which was popularly known as<span> Schism of the West</span>. Worse, there was even separation between the Eastern and Western churches known as Schism of the East dated 1054.
I am pretty sure the the answer is A
<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>).
By evaluating a logical fallacy, the excerpt above assists the authors in supporting their conclusion.
Known as a flaw in reasoning or the “incorrect moves” in the heat of an argument, logical fallacies are often sneakily utilized by media and politicians to mislead people since logical fallacies are comparable to thought’s illusions or tricks.
