The correct answer is folksy and likeable. Ronald Reagan was President of the United States. He became an iconic figure to which Republican candidates for the next generation often praised. Ronald Reagan was convivial, upbeat, courteous, respectful, self-confident, and humble. But he was also opaque, remote, distant, and inscrutable. He was a larger-than-life character, a formidable politician, and an important president.
The most logical generalization is letter b. people in rural areas have smaller dating pool than people in urban areas.
<em>People in rural areas do not necessarily have an advantage with dating applications because everyone knows everyone, the number of people is much smaller, and they are people who naturally have a culture of approaching one to another.</em>
- <u>Itens a.</u> (dating applications do not often lead to romantic partnerships) <u>and d.</u> (most rural residents have located romantic partners through dating applications) > Both are distant from the contextualization of the passage.
- <u>Iten c.</u> (fewer rural residents than urban residents have smart phones) > It is not a generalization. It is another kind of conclusion. Not all conclusions are generalizations.
Both C and D were both male rulers, so we can rule them out.
Next comes Hatshepsut and Cleopatra.
Cleopatra was a co-regent. Even though she was a very strong person of history, Hatshepsut takes the answer.
Hatshepsut ruled for a whopping 20 years, making her considered one of the most successful female Egyptian rulers.
Hope this helps!
In his most famous piece of work, The Prince, Niccolò Machiavelli basically wrote a manual on the types of existing principalities, poiniting out the difference between each of them, on the foundations of power and, finally, on the norms of conduct that the one who aspires to be prince must adopt.
According to the author, it was not enough to achieve power; the prince should be able to keep it, and to do so, he would have to be respected by the people, acting accordingly to each circumstance, changing strategies as appropriate. The most famous saying that synthesizes the Machiavellian though is "The ends justify the means", which means that in order to remain in the custody of power (which would be the "end"), the prince is authorized to act in the most convenient manner, not necessarily needing to stick to rigid moral principles and ethical norms.
