<em>Machiavelli's active role in the politics of his time .</em> This is the correct option.
Machiavelli in 1498 was appointed by the Florence government as a member of different departments. First, he worked for the chancery and then, he worked for a council responsible for the diplomatic relationships among states. He did all these activities during a period of social conflicts and when Florence was a new republic.
These options are not right.
-His study of rhetoric and the art of persuasion. ( This could have given him the means but not the experience of political life).
-His admiration of Lorenzo de Medici and his teachings. ( The Medici sent him to prison).
-His admiration of the Church's role in politics. ( He did not admire the Church; he was critical about the influnce the Church had on<em> citizens</em>).
Answer:
I believe the quote that does not support the inference that living in Alaska can be a challenge is:
c) "During this time, Alaskans spend a lot of time outside enjoying nature."
Explanation:
Quotes A, B, and D all talk about the challenges of living in Alaska. Alaskans need to worry about their vitamin D intake, about adjusting their lifestyles to lack or excess of light, etc. However, option C does not talk of a challenge or a difficulty. If we read option C without the context given in the passage, we would not at all guess that it has anything to do with a difficult, demanding lifestyle. It sounds as if Alaskans simply get to have fun in nature. For that reason, letter C is the one that does not support the inference that living in Alaska can be a challenge.
<span>Shakespeare
believes that Love can cause pain. And I agree with this statement. Based from
the play, various couples went through different kinds of heartache before they
met the person that was meant for them. Each character sees love in a different
light. Olivia believed that love is a plague because of how she suffered
because of it. Orsino saw love as an appetite that he cannot fill. Viola was
suffering from a one sided love.</span>
