A good Machiavellian leader has 5 specific traits:
1. being feared- in his time it was much better for a leader to be feared, because if the people feared you, they would be less inclined to revolt, as opposed to them loving you.
2. support of the people- you need the support of the people, because without the people supporting your decisions no actions can be made.
3. virtue-show good virtues in public, but do what has to be done to succeed in the privacy of your fortress, so basically lie to the people if necessary.
4. use your own arms- don't be dependent on mercenaries, because your own people are more likely to die for you
5. intelligence- without that you cannot hope to gain the support of your people
A predicate is the part of a sentence that contains a verb wich tells something about the subject.
Now, in simple present or present progressive the formula is: subject + verb+ complement; the verb is the predicate. Taking the first three example, the subject is circled and the verb verbs comes after.
Answers are underlined:
The West Indian Manatee <u>is large a sea mammal.</u>
Manatte <u>rest just below the water's surface.</u>
Sea grass <u>is one of their favorite things</u> to eat.
In the last one it can't be eat the predicate because the predicate refers always to the subject, and 'sea grass doesn't eat'. "To eat is a complement"
Just look at the beginnings and end of the words and if they end in the words under prefixes and suffixes put them in the column
