But when cities or countries are accustomed to live under a prince, and his family is exterminated, they, being on the one hand accustomed to obey and on the other hand not having the old prince, cannot agree in making one from amongst themselves, and they do not know how to govern themselves. For this reason they are very slow to take up arms, and a prince can gain them to himself and secure them much more easily. But in republics there is more vitality, greater hatred, and more desire for vengeance, which will never permit them to allow the memory of their former liberty to rest; so that the safest way is to destroy them or to reside there.


–The Prince,

Niccolò Machiavelli


1. Which text structure does Machiavelli use in this passage?

A. Cause and Effect.

B. Problem and Solution.

C. Compare and Contrast.


2. Which signal word or words help you identify this structure?

A. "but".

B. "for this reason".

C. "on the other hand".


3. How does this text structure help the author convey his central idea?

A. It explains why living in a new state can fail.

B. It explains why a republic is the way to succeed.

C. It explains why destroying a state is successful.

Answers

Answer:

1. C. Compare and Contrast

2. C. On the other hand

3. A. It explains why living in a new state can fail

Explanation:

1.

Machiavelli compares as he puts it a stable country under the controlled rule of a monarchy or ' prince' which can fail if it does not have this control. Machiavelli contrasts that in a monarchy the people obey and are fast to follow orders. For this reason the people would not know how to govern themselves without the prince.

While a previous republic would be a "greater desire for Vengeance" Meaning the people would not be easily manipulated.

2. On the other hand signifies comparing one thing to another. it is the only option. that will fit with such a excerpt.

3. The text structure explains that a country ruled in an authoritarian way would make the people easier to manipulate and more loyal to their 'prince'. While the people of a old Republic where the prince would come to cease would be more rebellious and would be harder to keep in line. Machiavelli states that the prince should destroy them. Niccolò Machiavelli teaches a prince on how to control his people. There are many references on doing g anything necessary to keep power, but to your people you must seem fair and just. This shines through in the excerpt

the poem once upon a time by gabriel okara directly deals with a social problem he accuses that modern society is corrupted.explain giving examples from the poem

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

"Once upon a time" by Gabriel Okara portrays how society, although it has evolved and become more modern and more efficient, has become futile, made and false. We can see this in the poem, when we realize that the speaker of the poem is a father, who tells his son how the world has changed. At this point, the father begins to remember how people were when he was younger and shows, with nostalgia, that people were more sincere, truthful and friendly. For the father, people used to smile with their hearts and approach without interest and without caring about appearances. The speaker says that currently, people smile with their teeth and not their hearts, that is, they do not smile with emotion, but smile falsely, worried that people are looking and thinking about them.

In this poem, we can see how the price we have to pay for modernity, which on the one hand makes our lives easier, but on the other hand, makes us less human.

1. Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.
The Black Beauty
The first place that I can well remember was a large pleasant
meadow with a pond of clear water in it. Some shady trees
leaned over it, and rushes and water-lilies grew at the deep
end. Over the hedge on one side, we looked into a ploughed
field, and on the other, we looked over a gate at our master's
house, which stood by the roadside. At the top of the meadow
was a plantation of fir trees, and at the bottom a running brook
overhung by a steep bank. Whilst I was young, I lived upon my
mother's milk, as I could not eat grass. In the day time, I ran
by her side, and at night I lay down close by her. When it was
hot, we used to stand by the pond in the shade of the trees, and
when it was cold, we had a nice warm shed near the plantation
As soon as I was old enough to eat grass, my mother started
to go out to work in the day time, and come back in the
evening. There were six young colts in the meadow beside me,
all older than I was; some were nearly as large as grown-up
horses. I used to run with them and had great fun; we used
to gallop together round and round the field, as fast as we
could. Sometimes we had a rather rough play, for they would
frequently bite and kick as well as gallop.
I wish you to pay attention to what I am going to say to
you. The colts who live here are very good colts; but they are cart-horse colts, and of course they have not learned manners
You have been well bred and are well born; your father has a
great name in these parts, and your grandfather won the cup
two years at the Newmarket races; your grandmother had the
sweetest temper of any horse I ever knew, and I think you have
never seen me kick or bite. I hope you will grow up gentle and
good, and never learn bad ways do your work with a good
will lift your feet up well when you trot, and never bite or kick
even in play
Thave never forgotten my mother's advice, I knew she was a
wise old horse, and our master thought a great deal of her. Her
name was Duchess, but he often called her Pet. Our master
was a good kind man. He gave us good food, good lodging
and kind words; he spoke as kindly to us as he did to his little
children: we all were fond of him, and my mother loved him

What is an emotion?

Emotions are mental states brought on by neurophysiological changes, variously associated with thoughts, feelings, behavioral responses, and a degree of pleasure or displeasure. There is currently no scientific consensus on a definition. Emotions are often intertwined with mood, temperament, personality, disposition, or creativity.

Research on emotion has increased over the past two decades with many fields contributing including psychology, medicine, history, sociology of emotions, and computer science. The numerous theories that attempt to explain the origin, function and other aspects of emotions have fostered more intense research on this topic. Current areas of research in the concept of emotion include the development of materials that stimulate and elicit emotion. In addition, PET scans and fMRI scans help study the affective picture processes in the brain.

You are a historian studying Britain. You believe that a rise in the average British citizen’s income between 1800 and 1850 can be linked to a rise in literacy. You have many sources of data from a town in Britain covering that period. Which four types of data would you study to investigate this theory?
the amount of wheat produced compared to barley and millet
the average cost of a home
the number of inns and pubs in the town
the number of booksellers and libraries in the town
the number of people who emigrated from that town to the United States
the number of people who can sign their own marriage licenses and wills
the number of people coming to the town for employment

Answer: The average cost of a home

The number of booksellers and libraries in town

The number of people who sign their own marriage licence and will

The Number of people coming to town for employment

Explanation:

The types of data that would be studied to investigate the link between literacy levels and increase in income will be:

• The average cost of a home

• The number of booksellers and libraries in town

• The number of people who sign their own marriage licence and will

• The number of people coming to town for employment

O What is a pipette and a concave slide?
O How long does the procedure take?
O Why do people prepare wet-
mount slides?
O What is the purpose of the paper towels?

Answers

Answer:

A). What is a pipette and a concave slide?

Explanation:

As per the question, the most likely question a reader unaware of the scientific equipment would ask would be that 'what is a pipette and a concave slide.' This is because he needs to know about what these equipment(Pipette and a Concave slide) are and their uses for understanding the procedure. Without knowing that a pipette is a small tube with an enlargement or bulb in the middle for transferring measured quantities of liquid and a concave slide is a microscopic slide used for examining comparatively thicker samples, they would not be able to either understand the process or follow it. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
