The answer is:

Machiavelli forces readers to carefully consider the meanings of the words merciful and mercy.

In the passage from "The Prince," the author Niccolò Machiavelli mentions the words mercy and merciful intending to make readers contemplate their meanings with special circumspection. Thus, <em>mercy </em>is compassion towards somebody one can hurt or punish, and <em>merciful </em>means benevolent. In that respect, Machiavelli suggests that an unsympathetic ruler can preserve power rather than a compassionate one.

kvv77 [185]

Answer:

(D) I will be finished at ten in the morning, and will be arriving at home about 6:30

Explanation:

The word "at" refers to a specific time or location. In this context, the speaker is certain of when he will be finished, therefore to show the certainty, the word 'at" is used.

Likewise, the word “about” is used to denote an approximate time or location. The speaker cannot give an exact time when he will get home. He can only give an approximate time.

The correct option is D.
