Answer:
The statement which best summarizes the central idea of the paragraph is:
B. There are three ways for a prince to hold a newly acquired state that is accustomed to freedom: ruin it, live there, or create an oligarchy that is loyal to him - and the third way is the easiest.
Explanation:
"The Prince" is a book published in 1532 by Niccolò Machiavelli, an Italian statesman and and political philosopher born in 1469.
As we can see in the excerpt, Machiavelli is discussing the ways a conqueror can maintain a conquered land under his control, especially if the people from that land are used to being free and to having their own government. <u>According to him, there are 3 ways: "to ruin them, . . . to reside (live) there in person, . . . and establishing an oligarchy which will keep it friendly to you."</u>
<u>The third way is the easiest one. The conqueror would be using the land's own people and politicians in his favor. With that in mind, we can choose letter B as the best option.</u>

In the poem, death does not discriminate in the following ways:
1. It does not discriminate based on age. It comes for everyone either old or young. The old gardner due to his age felt death has come for him. But death was actually there for his master instead.
2. It does not discriminate based on status. It does matter if one is wealthy or poor. Death came for the master instead of the gardner.
3. It doesn't discriminate on its friendship. It is friends with everyone. It knows everyone.
