Answer:
C. to persuade readers that a conquering prince must destroy a former republic if he hopes to hold it.
Explanation:
'The Prince' is a book written by political theorist Niccolo Machiavelli. In this book, Machiavelli outlines guidance for young princes on how to acquire a state and how to rule. He claims that if a prince need to use immoral means to acquire a state, he sould do it, and it will not be perceived as wrong.
In the given passage, from Chapter 5, the author is elucidating upon this same matter. He does so by giving a comparison between Spartan and Romans way of holding newly acquired state. By showing contrast between the two, he is asserting that the prince should destroy a former republic to hold the newly acquired state.
Therefore, option C is correct.
The correct option is B: the uncontrollable power of nature.
We can perceive how the author is trying to show us how human beings have the tools and the technology and, besides, the intelligence to capture wild animals, but what they do not seem to understand is that in many occasions they underestimate the power of nature. In this case, they are not aware of the power of the whale.
For the author the symbolism is clear: what is meant to be free, it should stay that way.
He was using his body language and gesticulation to make a digresion and push the speach in a new direction for a brief amount of time. Digresion is commonly used in public speaking when one is giving and example, introducing new topic, bringin a guest in, and so on.
