Read the passage from chapter 17 of The Prince. Among the wonderful deeds of Hannibal this one is enumerated: that having led an

enormous army, composed of many various races of men, to fight in foreign lands, no dissensions arose either among them or against the prince, whether in his bad or in his good fortune. This arose from nothing else than his inhuman cruelty, which, with his boundless valour, made him revered and terrible in the sight of his soldiers, but without that cruelty, his other virtues were not sufficient to produce this effect. How does the author’s diction affect the tone in this passage? Words like inhuman, cruelty, and terrible support a tone of fear. Words like wonderful, boundless, valour, revered, and virtues support a tone of admiration. Words like sufficient, enumerated, virtues, and dissensions support a critical tone. Words like dissensions, bad, inhuman, cruelty, and terrible support a tone of sorrow.

Read the passage from chapter 17 of The Prince.

<em>Among the wonderful deeds of Hannibal this one is enumerated: that having led an enormous army, composed of many various races of men, to fight in foreign lands, no dissensions arose either among them or against the prince, whether in his bad or in his good fortune. This arose from nothing else than his inhuman cruelty, which, with his boundless velour, made him revered and terrible in the sight of his soldiers, but without that cruelty, his other virtues were not sufficient to produce this effect.         </em>

Question: How does the author’s diction affect the tone in this passage?

Options:      

  • Words like inhuman, cruelty, and terrible support a tone of fear.
  • Words like wonderful, boundless, velour, revered, and virtues support a tone of admiration.
  • Words like sufficient, enumerated, virtues, and dissensions support a critical tone.
  • Words like dissensions, bad, inhuman, cruelty, and terrible support a tone of sorrow.

Answer: The correct answer is: <u>Words like wonderful, boundless, velour, revered, and virtues support a tone of admiration.</u>

Explanation: The author mentions that Hannibal had many wonderful deeds and one in particular was leading an enormous army with men of many races to fight in foreign lands and having no conflict occur either among them or against the prince and this was thanks to his cruelty. The author is applauding and recognizing Hannibal's leader skills and though he mentions that he was inhumanly cruel, he recognizes that without that, he wouldn't have been able to produce such effects.

Hitman42 [59]

"The Odyssey", is one of the two really important works by Homer, together with "the Iliad". These two works by this great Greek author, one of the most important in history, have been known as the greatest works, and the most ancient, of literary history and "the Iliad" is known as the oldest written literary work ever, while "the Odyssey" has been known as the second oldest. "Odyssey", believed to have been written somewhere around the 8th century B.C, continues the story of Odysseus, who after the Trojan War, seeks to return home to Ithaca, where he is king, and where his wife Penelope, and son Telemachus, have been awaiting him. On the voyage home, Odysseus, and his son and wife as well, face several adventures that not only lead to the resulting final encounter and its consequences, but also change these three characters and affect others around them. However, probably the one that changes the most throughout both "Iliad" and "Odyssey" is Odysseus himself, who at first recognized himself as a reckless and impulsive man, which caused him to leave his home and family to fight in the Trojan War. After the endless adventures, and obstacles, that this character needs to face in order to reach his goal, returning to his family and home, he comes to find that he also needs to reassert his presence and authority to his wife, Penelope, and he confronts them in a contest of archery, established by Penelope in order to dissuade her suitors. In this particular excerpt, what Odysseus portrays, and that is why at first Penelope has trouble recognizing her husband, is the way that he A: has become more patient and humble in battle. It is not until after a bit later that Penelope and Odysseus finally reunite when she recognizes him.
