Read the passage from chapter 17 of The Prince.

Coming now to the other qualities mentioned above, I say that every prince ought to desire to be considered clement and not cruel. Nevertheless he ought to take care not to misuse this clemency. Cesare Borgia was considered cruel; notwithstanding, his cruelty reconciled the Romagna, unified it, and restored it to peace and loyalty. And if this be rightly considered, he will be seen to have been much more merciful than the Florentine people, who, to avoid a reputation for cruelty, permitted Pistoia to be destroyed. Therefore a prince, so long as he keeps his subjects united and loyal, ought not to mind the reproach of cruelty; because with a few examples he will be more merciful than those who, through too much mercy, allow disorders to arise, from which follow murders or robberies; for these are wont to injure the whole people, whilst those executions which originate with a prince offend the individual only.

How does the repetition of the words cruel and cruelty affect the tone of the paragraph?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The repetition of the words "cruel" and "cruelty" results in a manner of insistence and places a heavy emphasis on these characteristics deemed less detrimental than certain others (such as mercy). It highlights the importance, value, and role of this quality according to Machiavelli. This repetition also serves to counterpoise the negative connotations one may instinctively associate with the word "cruelty" and render it neutral. It brings a certain intensity to Machiavelli's tone.

Blair Apologizes for Katrina Response
Britons who felt "deserted" by embassy staff during Hurricane Katrina received an apology from
Prime Minister Tony Blair today.
Blair was reacting to complaints by survivors of Katrina that the response to their situation had
been painfully inadequate.
Blair apologized, but assured survivors of the Hurricane that they had not been deserted. In fact,
Blair said, embassy staff had been working "day and night" in an attempt to reach Britons
trapped in a New Orleans Superdome stadium.


Which best states the purpose of this article excerpt?


A. to persuade readers not to blame British diplomats

B. to convince readers to help British survivors

C. to explain to readers why Britons were "deserted

D. to inform readers about Blair's apology

Answers

Answer: D. to inform readers about Blair's apology

Explanation:

The article excerpt provides information about Blair's apology in an unbiased way, meaning that it doesn´t intend to convince the reader of whether an apology was in order or not.

Option A is incorrect because the idea that British diplomats had allegedly been working non-stop is how Blair, and not the article, intends to persuade people not to blame them. Option B is incorrect because the article doesn´t ask or even hint for people to help British survivors. Option C is incorrect because the article is not meant to explain why Britons were deserted, but to inform how Blair considers they were not deserted at all.

Can you make me brainliest pls

An advertisement is a commercial or any awareness raising campaign that is done to make people informed about a good or service.

Pathos is the use of emotionally laced words to get a person to do something or convince him about something.

Therefore, one way that an advertisement can make use of pathos is to say:

"If you don't use this product to brush your teeth soon, you might get plaques on your teeth."

What this does, is to make the reader feel that if he does not use the product, his teeth will become bad.

Which part of this excerpt from William Shakespeare's Macbeth uses apostrophe?

Answers

This question is missing the excerpts. I was able to find them online. However, since they are too long to post here, I have attached them.

Answer:

The excerpt in which Shakespeare uses apostrophe is the first one.

Explanation:

The figure of speech known as apostrophe happens when an author or character addresses an inanimate object, a dead person, or someone who is absent. In the first excerpt (which can be found in the attachment), the speaker is addressing an inanimate object - a dagger (thy blade). At this point, Macbeth seems to be hallucinating, perhaps consumed with the guilt of knowing he is going to commit murder. He thinks he sees a bloody dagger before him, and begins to talk to the object.

"Macbeth" is a tragic play by English playwright William Shakespeare (1564-1616).

Read this excerpt from My Bondage and My Freedom by Frederick Douglass:

She had bread for the hungry, clothes for the naked, and comfort for every mourner that came within her reach. Slavery soon proved its ability to divest her of these excellent qualities, and her home of its early happiness. Conscience cannot stand much violence. Once thoroughly broken down, who is he that can repair the damage? It may be broken toward the slave, on Sunday, and toward the master on Monday. It cannot endure such shocks. It must stand entire, or it does not stand at all. If my condition waxed bad, that of the family waxed not better. The first step, in the wrong direction, was the violence done to nature and to conscience, in arresting the benevolence that would have enlightened my young mind.

Which of the following sentences best describes Douglass’s opinion about slavery?

A.
Slavery relies on the conscience to maintain itself.

Explain why the judge in United States v. Susan B. Anthony feels the Fifteenth Amendment does not give Susan B. Anthony the right to vote. Cite evidence from the text in your explanation.

Answers

Answer:

The case the United States v. Susan B. Anthony was a criminal case taken up against Susan B. Anthony after she attempted to vote. She was found guilty and told to pay a $100 fine, which she adamantly refused. One argument that the defendant, Susan B. Anthony, had was that the fourteenth amendment said that all people born in the united states were citizens and that states could not infringe on their "privileges and immunities of citizens" which includes voting (as seen in the fifteenth amendment). However, the court argued that those only pertained to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as children were citizens but could not vote. Then, when faced with the fifteenth amendment the court said that since nowhere in the amendment is sex listed, women's right to vote was not protected.

Do you know someone who shouts, bullies, and belittles others to try to get control? Juror 3 is the type of guy that always gets his way. He has no problem bullying the other jurors when they think differently from him. With a teenage boy's life in their hands, the jury has an important job of determining whether or not the defendant is guilty of murdering his father. Let's learn more about Juror 3 in 12 Angry Men by Reginald Rose.

As soon as the jurors move to the deliberation room, Juror 3 begins throwing his influence on the weakest member of the jury, Juror 2. Juror 3 is annoyed that it has taken as long as it has, as to him, the boy is obviously guilty. He is anxious to get the vote out of the way and is shocked when he discovers that there is one juror who sees things differently than he does. He has no sympathy that the defendant is only 19 years old and is annoyed when other jurors want to review the evidence.
