<u>Step 1: Determine which options are correct
</u>
What reasoning does Machiavelli use in this passage?
- Option A: Machiavelli uses deductive reasoning by first introducing the conclusion that new rulers must be cruel and then supporting it with evidence.
The only option that makes sense is Option A because he makes sure that his deductive reason is first making sure that the audience knows that the new rulers must be cruel. He follows that by supporting it with evidence.
Answer: Machiavelli uses inductive reasoning by starting with the conclusion that new rulers must be cruel and then supporting it with short narratives.
Using 1000 plants, each for an individual barrel. The plant that was poisoned will die within thirty days, that way the people will not die. Personally I don't see what's so bad about using 1000 humans as text subjected though ;)
