The correct answer is the option that reads “The evidence uses stories of historical figures to support the claim.”. Taken from the book called “<em>The Prince</em>” by Niccolò Machiavelli (1532), the author supported his argument that cruelty is a necessary part of leadership with the story of <u>a famous, Greek tyrant named Agathocles</u> who gained power by criminal means. For instance, in the passage the author narrates an example of cruelty when Agathocles called the Senate and the citizens for a meeting, and then killed them all so as to hold the princedom of that city.
The character of Editha is a foil, developed to portray <span>the fickleness of the arguments that support war. The author ironically reveals how Editha repeats the passages from newspapers and magazines supporting the need to go to war. But the author takes a step further to give us a view of Editha’s perception when she says, "But now it doesn't matter about the how or why. Since the war has come, all that is gone. There are no two sides any more. There is nothing now but our country." Finally, toward the end of the story, Mrs. Gearson sarcastically says, "No, you didn't expect him to get killed," a commentary by the author to show the ignorance of people who idealize war.</span>

How do you feel about that statistic?
That statistic makes me feel deceived, misled. Such a high number means half of the information conveyed to us is not completely trustworthy. It is what PR companies want us to think, not real information which we can use to think for ourselves. It is quite a sad reality, and it shows we still have a long way to go before we can think of ourselves as truly free. Knowledge is the rock upon which we can build our freedom. Without it, we are easily controlled and kept chained by those in power.
Do you think most people realize this?
I do not think people realize this. If more people knew about this, there would likely be a public outcry for change and better ways to filter what truly is news and what is not. That is obviously a difficult endeavor. But, just as so many others throughout history, it is worth fighting for.
