This is what the passive version of this sentence would look like:
The statue of David was sculpted by the famous artist and sculptor Michelangelo in Italy in the early 1500s.
In English, usually the word that is placed in the beginning of a sentence is the most prominent one, and the most important one as well. It is where the emphasis of the sentence is. Having this in mind, the best reason for the writer to revise this sentence to be in the passive voice is to emphasize <u>the statue.</u>

Read the passage from chapter 17 of The Prince.
Serga [27]

The correct answer is A. They suggest that a ruler who is feared can retain power, while a ruler who is hated is less likely to do so.

Explanation:

In the passage presented, Machiavelli explains the way the prince needs to inspire fear rather than hate "Nevertheless a prince ought to inspire fear in such a way that, if he does not win love, he avoids hatred". According to him, this is necessary because the prince can govern if there is fear but not hate, about this, Machiavelli states the prince should never take away property because this would lead to hate form people; however, if necessary he can take life, although he recommends doing this due to proper reasons and without creating a reputation of cruelty as otherwise hate will emerge and this is not advisable.

According to this, Machiavelli proposes it is good people fear rather than hate a ruler and therefore the words feared and hatred in the passage "suggest that a ruler who is feared can retain power, while a ruler who is hated is less likely to do so".
