Answer:
Elya looks for Zeroni ⇒ Elya court’s Myra ⇒ Elya forgets his promise ⇒ Stanley is bullied ⇒ Stanley finds sneakers ⇒ Stanley is arrested ⇒ Stanley gets to camp ⇒ Stanley digs a hole.
Explanation:
In this excerpt from Holes, we learn how Stanley Yelnats' great-great-grandfather, Elya Yelnats was helped by Madame Zeroni to win the heart of Myra. First he looks from Madame Zeroni and she gives him a pig that he was to give water to from a certain stream every day and it would grow.
The pig grows and so Elya courted Myra. He found her dimwitted however and goes to America forgetting to fulfil a promise to carry Madame Zerone up the mountain to sing for her leading her to place a curse on him and his descendants.
Except then comes back to the present where Stanley is bullied at school leading him to miss the school bus and as he walks home, sneakers hit him on the head which he then took as he wanted to give to his father to help in his experiments but as he runs he is arrested for sneaker theft and sent to Camp Green Lake where he digs a hole.
Answer:
C. to persuade readers that a conquering prince must destroy a former republic if he hopes to hold it.
Explanation:
'The Prince' is a book written by political theorist Niccolo Machiavelli. In this book, Machiavelli outlines guidance for young princes on how to acquire a state and how to rule. He claims that if a prince need to use immoral means to acquire a state, he sould do it, and it will not be perceived as wrong.
In the given passage, from Chapter 5, the author is elucidating upon this same matter. He does so by giving a comparison between Spartan and Romans way of holding newly acquired state. By showing contrast between the two, he is asserting that the prince should destroy a former republic to hold the newly acquired state.
Therefore, option C is correct.

(Without the quotation marks and inclusion the word “and” before “Gwendolyn”)
