There are, for example, the Spartans and the Romans. The Spartans held Athens and Thebes, establishing there an oligarchy: never

theless they lost them. The Romans, in order to hold Capua, Carthage, and Numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. They wished to hold Greece as the Spartans held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. So to hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain them otherwise than by ruining them. And he who becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it, for in rebellion it has always the watchword of liberty and its ancient privileges as a rallying point, which neither time nor benefits will ever cause it to forget. And whatever you may do or provide against, they never forget that name or their privileges unless they are disunited or dispersed, but at every chance they immediately rally to them, as Pisa after the hundred years she had been held in bondage by the Florentines.
What idea is stressed in the passage?

the desire for liberty
the establishment of an oligarchy
the dismantling of an acquired state
the tendency toward rebellion

Answer:

The dismantling of an acquired state.

Explanation:

I think it is "the dismantling of an acquired state" because it states multiple times in the passage;

"The Romans, in order to hold Capua, Carthage, and Numantia, dismantled them... They wished to hold Greece as the Spartans held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. So to hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in the country... against, they never forget that name or their privileges unless they are disunited or dispersed, but at every chance they immediately rally to them..."

There once was a boy named Ben,
he lived in a cottage with his mother and father. One time he was playing and broke his mothers lamp and hid it under the bed. The next day Ben’s mother asked him if he had seen her lamp, but Ben said to his mother “No mother I have not seen your lamp.” On the next day his mother asked him again.
But Ben said “No mother I have not.”
On the third day Ben’s mother was cleaning under her bed and cut herself on some glass. She looked under the bed and shrieked with shock. Ben came running into his mother’s bedroom,
“What’s wrong mother?” He said.
“Ben? Did u hide this lamp under my bed?”
“No mother, why would I do that?”
“I’m sorry mother, I cannot lie to you anymore, I broke your lamp and hid it under the bed, I’m so sorry mother.”
“Oh Ben, why would you do such a terrible thing?”
Then, out of nowhere she gave me a big bear hug.
“I’m not mad at you she said.” I just wish that you had told me the truth.” She said with a calm and soothing voice.
And this is why you should never lie, you should always be honest no matter what the consequences are.
