Answer:

Machiavelli use of these words (both positive words like win, benefits, reassure and negative words like knife, seizing) creates a serious, matter-of-fact effect on the tone of the passage.

Explanation:

In 'The Prince', 'Machiavelli' advises that a prince should analyze his actions wisely and always secure his power (use of word seizing power). With ‘benefits’ he mean that by calculating his deeds, manipulation and giving benefits to his subjects, they would forget about the wicked and cruel deeds of the Prince. And, Prince can support his subjects better.  The prince should provide  his subjects stability and governance.

Cruel words and connotations are neutralized with and positive language in the passage.

Read the excerpt from chapter 8 of The Prince. Hence it is to be remarked that, in seizing a state, the usurper ought to examine closely into all those injuries which it is necessary for him to inflict, and to do them all at one stroke so as not to have to repeat them daily; and thus by not unsettling men he will be able to reassure them, and win them to himself by benefits. He who does otherwise, either from timidity or evil advice, is always compelled to keep the knife in his hand; neither can he rely on his subjects, nor can they attach themselves to him, owing to their continued and repeated wrongs. For injuries ought to be done all at one time, so that, being tasted less, they offend less; benefits ought to be given little by little, so that the flavour of them may last longer. How does Machiavelli’s use of words such as seizing, usurper, inflict, knife, win, reassure, and benefits affect the tone of the passage? A. There are more words with negative ones than positive ones, creating a frightening tone. B. There are more words with negative ones than positive ones, creating a threatening tone. C. The words with positive connotations soften the ones with negative connotations to create a serious, matter-of-fact tone. D. The words with positive connotations are used to create an encouraging tone.

The words with positive connotations soften the ones with negative connotations to create a serious, matter-of-fact tone.

Answer: Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The following excerpt has been taken from 'The Prince' which is written by  Niccolo Machiavelli in which Chapter 8 is concerned with those people who have obtained in them the principality by wickedness.

This proves a very good example for the people who want to understand the intricacies of ascending or increasing themselves in the politics or in the  seat of power.

Short poem about social media impact on teens please help out
Marat540 [252]

To help, I wrote an example of the poem prompt you gave(Images -- should read from left to right) In the example, I used irony to show contrast and contradictory from the speaker's tone and veiw at the begining of the poem compared to at the end of the poem. I tried to incorporate a story into the poem because I figured out a good way to tell a--what is a rather mediocre--story with the given prompt. I incorporated this story into the poem simply by sticking to an ABB rhyme scheme throughout the entire thing. There are of course an endless number of ways one could write a poem, for poetry is often seen as more of a creative, expressive form of writing rather than a technical one. If you have an idea and you can manage to formulate it in stanzas, there's not much that can go wrong.

CAN SOMEONE WRITE AN ARTICLE ABOUT HONEY AND BEES, PLEASE AND THANK YOU
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

Bees are very small and Amazing insects. It's body is divided into 3 Parts-Head, Abdomen and thorax. In the front part, they have 2 legs and the back part they have 4 legs.The color of it's body is yellow and Black. The stringer of the Bee is very poisonous.These insects belong to the order Hymenoptera. The most common species is Apis mellifica. These are well-known for their organized social life and great economic importance. The nest of honey-bee is called bee-hive, which is commonly found on tall trees. The Bee swam is divided into three- Workers, Queen and Drones.

Worker bee forms the majority within a hive; size is very small; work in number of capacities—cleaner, nurse, builders and architects, technician, soldier and porter.

Drone bee—slightly larger than the workers; noisy and idle; comes out of the hive only at the time of nuptial flight.

Queen bee—very large with a tapering abdomen; general­ly a single matured queen is present in each hive; responsible for the laying of eggs.

A queen bee can lay 2,500 eggs in a day.In the  lifetime of a HOney bee, it will  be able to produce 1/2 teaspoon of honey.Worker bees have a 6 to 8 week lifespan.Honey bees are super-important pollinators for flowers, fruits and vegetables. This means that they help other plants grow! Bees transfer pollen between the male and female parts, allowing plants to grow seeds and fruit.

A colony of bees consists of 20,000–60,000 bees and one queen. While a queen bee can live up to 5 years, worker honey bees only live for about 6 weeks and do all the work.  Honey bees have been producing honey in the same way for over 150 million years.The only insect that produces food that humans eat is the honey bee.

Thanks to you, because of you today I came to know about bees. I wasn't aware of Bees this much. I researched alot about them and had written the answer.
