Hatshy [7]2 years ago

"The prince" was the first book that didn't take politics as something ethical or philosophical. Machiavelli wrote it to Lorenzo di Medici as a "guide" to maintain his power. Ancient philosophers were focused on constucting the ideal state. That means, they mentioned the characteristics of a succesfull  monarchy for example, but did not considered the things as they were at that moment. Readers find disturbing the tactics that Machiavelli describes to gain or maintain power as they include making people fear you or destroying your enemies. This book is always resumed with the phrase "The end justifies the means",  making it clear that the rulers can do anything to maintain their power.

The controversy is understandable, this books shows how cruel can reality be and how politics scrifice ethics in the name of power. The discussion is still relevant nowadays. How far can politicians go to win an election?

trapecia [35]
I don't see any options, but if there is a "clue" that states that using words like "Finally, next, now" and so on is how you can cell that an author is using chronological order, I'd choose that one.

I sincerely hoped that helped, have a good day.

which answer choice correctly uses a semicolon to punctuate a compound sentence a The cake is burned, we'll have to bake another
alexira [117]

D - The cake is burned; and so we'll have to bake another one.

When using a semi-colon to combine two independent clauses (in a compound sentence), you much also use a coordinating conjuction. Option D is the only one with the coordinating conjunction (and).
