Answer:
1. C. Compare and Contrast
2. C. On the other hand
3. A. It explains why living in a new state can fail
Explanation:
1.
Machiavelli compares as he puts it a stable country under the controlled rule of a monarchy or ' prince' which can fail if it does not have this control. Machiavelli contrasts that in a monarchy the people obey and are fast to follow orders. For this reason the people would not know how to govern themselves without the prince.
While a previous republic would be a "greater desire for Vengeance" Meaning the people would not be easily manipulated.
2. On the other hand signifies comparing one thing to another. it is the only option. that will fit with such a excerpt.
3. The text structure explains that a country ruled in an authoritarian way would make the people easier to manipulate and more loyal to their 'prince'. While the people of a old Republic where the prince would come to cease would be more rebellious and would be harder to keep in line. Machiavelli states that the prince should destroy them. Niccolò Machiavelli teaches a prince on how to control his people. There are many references on doing g anything necessary to keep power, but to your people you must seem fair and just. This shines through in the excerpt
The tone of this article is highly critical towards those who complain about the challenges and adversities that life brings upon them, or that they bring upon themselves, and, instead of seeing them as opportunities to surpass themselves and even excel, they focus on feeling sorry for themselves, and expect others to feel the same way about them. They adopt a conformist attitude that might be reflecting a lack of confidence or a limited capability. Furthermore, the tone of the article is outspoken yet encouraging. Life may not be fair, and it is certainly not easy, particularly for some people, but a positive attitude and personal drive can go a long way to make the most out of it.
