Answer:

If your answer choices are:

a. A tsunami is a frightening experience for everyone involved. Not only is the sound of it terrifying, but the sight of all that water is also horrifying.

b. The sight of all that water building up and crashing is horrifying. It causes immense damage to both people and buildings.

c. If you are lucky, you see the tsunami before you hear it; a solid mass of inky ocean builds up into a wall out at sea. It sucks greedily at the water at the shoreline, leaving silvery fish flapping weakly in shallow pools.

d. all of these

The correct answer is C. If you are lucky, you see the tsunami before you hear it; a solid mass of inky ocean builds up into a wall out at see. It sucks greedily at the water at the shoreline, leaving silvery fish flapping weakly in shallow pools.

Explanation:

All the sentences do provide a way to visualize a tsunami, but c is definitely the best choice. It uses an excellent word choice of imagery that appeals to the our 5 senses and particularly to the view:

- solid mass of inky water

-wall out at sea

- silvery fish flapping weakly in shallow pools.

Novosadov [1.4K]

I think that the correct answer is: It creates a matter-of-fact tone as Machiavelli demonstrates the positive effects of a ruler's cruelty.

In The Prince, Machiavelli gives empirical examples of his ideas to demonstrate the logic behind them. In this case he does the same, although he warns the prince that it is better to be known for mercy than for cruelty, he the demonstrates that some cruelty is necessary for a monarch. This to keep under control those who would take the power if they saw any waeknesses. An excess of mercy will lead to a state in which no one will respect the ruler and everyone will try to take or do what they want. In such a state, murder, robbery and crime in general would be common. With some acts of violence, the prince will give an example of his power and will maintain everything under control, leading, eventually to less deaths than being completely merciful.
