What is the excerpt and options?
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 meaning of the phrase cost-effective in the first paragraph of this passage is C. getting the most for the money you spend.
If you insulate and seal air leaks in your home on time, you won't have to think about that in the future. Thus, if you pay a lot of money now, you will save a lot more in the future than if you didn't insulate, and then had to fix stuff around the house all the time, which would waste so much of your money.
The correct answer is B) For you bouquets and ribbon’d wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding.
The line that suggests a grieving person calling out to a loved one or a respected leader is "For you bouquets and ribbon’d wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding."
The poem “O Captain! My Captain!” was written by Walt Whitman in 1865, and it refers to the death of United States President Abraham Lincoln. It was included in a collection of poems about the American Civil War called "Sequel to Drum-Taps." The poem is a mourning one that pretends to honor and shows respect to the life of Lincoln.
