Answer:

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:

Read the passage from chapter 17 of The Prince.

Nevertheless a prince ought to inspire fear in such a way that, if he does not win love, he avoids hatred; because he can endure very well being feared whilst he is not hated, which will always be as long as he abstains from the property of his citizens and subjects and from their women. But when it is necessary for him to proceed against the life of someone, he must do it on proper justification and for manifest cause, but above all things he must keep his hands off the property of others, because men more quickly forget the death of their father than the loss of their patrimony. Besides, pretexts for taking away the property are never wanting; for he who has once begun to live by robbery will always find pretexts for seizing what belongs to others; but reasons for taking life, on the contrary, are more difficult to find and sooner lapse. But when a prince is with his army, and has under control a multitude of soldiers, then it is quite necessary for him to disregard the reputation of cruelty, for without it he would never hold his army united or disposed to its duties.

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".

What choice does Welles make that causes the radio broadcast to feel like it
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

I believe the choice Welles makes that causes the radio broadcast to feel like it is happening live is:

D. He changes the verbs to present tense.

Explanation:

In 1938, future filmmaker Orson Welles broadcast a special Halloween episode on radio featuring an adaptation of the novel War of the Worlds, by H. G. Wells. The novel narrates a fictional invasion on Earth by Martians.

<u>Welles made it seem as if the bits of the novel he was reading were actually news bulletins, interrupting the normal broadcast of music now and then with new details concerning an invasion. To make it sound more realistic, as if the events are happening live, he narrates them using the present tense. The excerpt below belongs to a transcription of the broadcast. Pay attention to the verbs:</u>

<em> Ladies and gentlemen, we</em><em> interrupt</em><em> our program of dance music to bring  you a special bulletin from the Intercontinental Radio News. At twenty minutes before eight,  central time, Professor Farrell of the Mount Jennings Observatory, Chicago, Illinois, </em><em>reports </em><em> observing several explosions of incandescent gas, occurring at regular intervals on the planet  Mars. The spectroscope</em><em> indicates</em><em> the gas to be hydrogen and moving towards the earth with  enormous velocity. Professor Pierson of the Observatory at Princeton confirms Farrell's  observation, and </em><em>describes</em><em> the phenomenon as  "like a jet of blue flame shot from a gun".</em>

<u>By using the present tense, the narrator conveys a sense of immediacy, as if the events are taking place in real time.</u>
