Machiavelli´s purpose in writing The Prince —one of the most notable and important books ever published, which changed the political landscape for ever after its appearance— was to present his knowledge about the nature of princes and their rule to statesmen. His aim was to show rulers the correct form of governing in order to secure their state—securing this by whatever means, even if immoral— and avoid rebellions from the people.

Use the context to decide the meaning of the word condemned .

ehidna [41]

Answer:

Officially declared to be unfit for use

Explanation:

Condemned is an adjective derived from the verb to condemn. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, it has several meanings:

declared to be reprehensible, wrong, or evil
pronounced guilty and sentenced to punishment (usually to death)
officially declared to be unfit for use

Since the sentence is about gas cylinders, a type of product, we can conclude that the third meaning is the correct one. Cylinders can't be declared wrong or evil or sentenced to punishment. They can be only declared unusable, which fits the context - gas cylinders that cannot be identified must be removed from service, declared unfit for use, and rendered incapable of holding pressure.
