Answer:
<u>The slaves were able to get protection from the European military, which really benefited them and protected them. </u>
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.

Answer:
Selfish giant
I was a selfish giant when the children who came to my garden changed my life. Especially a boy who was my best friend. Even though the first time he met me, he got scared. But now we both are friends. So I want to tell u that children bring light to our life. Even when we are old, children fill us up with a special type of energy that certain human beings cannot give us.
Hope this helps......
