In
the book there is a part where Odysseus makes it back to his homeland
where he meets with the goddess Athene. She herself was disguised as
a young shepherd to approach him and then reveals to him her true
identity. She then disguises Odysseus to take back his home.
Athena
tells Odysseus she will disguise him as a beggar, because she is the
master of disguises and no one likes to look too closely at beggars
anyway.
<span>“Athena
transforms him into an old man as a disguise. Clad in a filthy tunic,
he goes off to find his faithful swineherd, as instructed by the
goddess.”</span>

The correct answer is answer C ("The words with positive connotations soften the ones with negative connotations to create a serious, matter-of-fact tone").
The tone of this excerpt is remarkably pragmatic for speaking about such horrific matter. Machiavelli achieves this by never losing sight of his aim, which is to instruct efficiency. <u>He's very aware of the delicate nature of the subject matter</u>. Without omitting important details even though they may seem cruel or gruesome, he's able to keep a cold tone by neutralizing these negative connotations with positive language.
This effect is made more clear in the last paragraph:
"For <u>injuries</u> ought to be done all at one time, so that, <u>being tasted less,</u> <u>offend less</u>..." - Here he's talking about necessary punishment and mercy at the same time.
"Benefits ought to be given <u>little by little</u>, so that the <u>flavour may last longer</u>..." - Machiavelli is talking about manipulation and using the word flavour which has a positive connotation that softens the cruel nature of the act.
Hope this helps!

Marketing serves to persuade consumers to purchase a particular product or use a service. The advertising often targets a specific group, such as senior citizens or young, single people. Companies selling toys and other youth-oriented products often use psychological tactics to manipulate children into wanting the product. While often effective, marketing to young children comes with disadvantages. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, a child under eight lacks the ability to understand that the advertisements are solely there to sell them on a product. Young children are more likely to believe anything they hear or see in advertising because they aren't cognitively able to realize the selling purpose. Children don't understand that advertising claims are sometimes embellished or emphasized just to make the sale.
