In "<em>The Stranger</em>", by Albert Camus, Meursault describes shooting the Arab after he's already dead as follows:
"I knew I’d shattered the balance of the day, thespacious calm of this beach on which I had been happy. But I fired four shots more into the inert body, on which they left no visible trace. And each successive shot was another loud, fateful rap on the door of my undoing."
He describes it as <em>knocking loudly on the door of his downfall</em>.
The rose in the concrete is basically how someone can fulfill greatness despite their environment or background.

The correct answer is A. They suggest that a ruler who is feared can retain power, while a ruler who is hated is less likely to do so.
Explanation:
In the passage presented, Machiavelli explains the way the prince needs to inspire fear rather than hate "Nevertheless a prince ought to inspire fear in such a way that, if he does not win love, he avoids hatred". According to him, this is necessary because the prince can govern if there is fear but not hate, about this, Machiavelli states the prince should never take away property because this would lead to hate form people; however, if necessary he can take life, although he recommends doing this due to proper reasons and without creating a reputation of cruelty as otherwise hate will emerge and this is not advisable.
According to this, Machiavelli proposes it is good people fear rather than hate a ruler and therefore the words feared and hatred in the passage "suggest that a ruler who is feared can retain power, while a ruler who is hated is less likely to do so".
