Answer:

A cruel leader will prevent subjects from living in a place of crime and violence.

Explanation:

In this excerpt, Niccolò Machiavelli tried to convey to readers that a good leader should act swiftly on any deterrent without him nursing the fear of reproâch or rebellion from his followers.

Thereby letting other followers know that such action will not be tolerated. In turn, the leader is setting a standard and ensuring that other followers desist from committing similar offenses, saving more lives, and preventing subjects from living in a place of crime and violence.

What do the parables in the monk's tale tell us about the intentions of the monk
Art [367]

<u>Answer</u>:

The parables in the monk's tale tell us about the intentions of the monk that the Monk is lost in his own preaching or speech.

<u>Explanation</u>:

“Parable” is a short fiction story that illustrates or teaches a moral or religious value associated with it.

‘The Monk’s tale’ is a series of tragic stories which teach that one should not blindly trust prosperity as one’s fate keep changing. Chaucer’s intent is to make fun of parables and people who told them. This is because monk is only telling tragic stories to people. He is himself lost in his preaching to other people.

*ABUELITO WHO* (CommonLit text)
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Refer below.

Explanation:

The author use the figurative language of "coins" and "rain" in both the opening and closing lines of the poem (Line 1 and Lines 20-21) to help develop the poem's meaning so as to portray her memories about her granddad. Cisneros has utilized comparison, which is a hyperbole, all through the sonnet. The primary capacity of metaphor is to make a correlation with show the similitudes between two unique things. Besides, likeness is generally joined by words, for example, "as" and "like". In the content, there are two instances of this saying: "Abuelito who throws coins like rain" (line 1)/"is the rain on the room that falls like coins" (line 21). Likeness has helped the creator build up the importance of the sonnet, that is, to describe about specific recollections she has of her granddad or "abuelito", a warm term for a granddad in Spanish. For example, Cisneros utilized allegorical language and metaphor in line 1 to portray how her granddad played with her creation coins fall like raindrops from above.
