Explanation:
<em>Machiavelli's active role in the politics of his time .</em> This is the correct option.
Machiavelli in 1498 was appointed by the Florence government as a member of different departments. First, he worked for the chancery and then, he worked for a council responsible for the diplomatic relationships among states. He did all these activities during a period of social conflicts and when Florence was a new republic.
These options are not right.
-His study of rhetoric and the art of persuasion. ( This could have given him the means but not the experience of political life).
-His admiration of Lorenzo de Medici and his teachings. ( The Medici sent him to prison).
-His admiration of the Church's role in politics. ( He did not admire the Church; he was critical about the influnce the Church had on<em> citizens</em>).
Answer:
1. Hers - possessive case
2. them - objective case
3. they - subjective case
Explanation:
In grammar, the case is a form that a noun/pronoun takes in a sentence, which is determined by its function in a sentence. If a noun/pronoun is the subject of a sentence, its case is subjective. This can be seen in the third example, where 'they' is the subject of the sentence "They went to bed." Similarly, if it is the object of the sentence, the case is objective (as "them" in the second sentence). When it possesses something, its case is possessive. Possessive case pronouns are <em>"mine," "yours," "his," "hers"</em> (as in the first sentence)<em>, "its," "ours," and "theirs."</em>
