The correct answer is A. A destructive event

Explanation:

Hard sci-fi or hard science fiction is a sub-category of fiction whose main focus is to understand objectively and from a scientific perspective the world or events or it. This means science fiction works usually include fiction elements that follow scientific logic in contrast to fantasy which implies hard sci-fi relies on real scientific advancements and discoveries. Additionally, as the focus is science subjective perspectives such as feelings, opinions or personal judgments are not the main purpose in hard sci-fi.

Considering this, if the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was considered from hard science fiction perspective the focus would be the way the bomb worked, how it was created and the effects of it not in terms of feelings but in the number of lives lost, effects on the environment and others. Thus, from hard sci-fi, the bombing of Hiroshiman and Nagasaki is viewed just as a destructive event as it does not focus on the feelings or reactions but on the reality, and according to science, this event had multiple destructive effects.

Read this paragraph from chapter 5 of The Prince. Whenever those states which have been acquired as stated have been accustomed
lakkis [162]

The answer is:  

There are three ways for a prince to hold a newly acquired state that is accustomed to freedom: ruin it, live there, or create an oligarchy that is loyal to him—and the third way is easiest.

In the excerpt from "the Prince," the author Niccolo Machiavelli makes reference to the three possible ways of holding a new acquired state that is used to living in freedom and having their own laws. The first option is to destroy them, the second is to settle there, and the third is to create an oligarchy that charges taxes but that keeps the state peaceful. Machiavelli suggests the third option is he easiest because it makes use of the state's own citizens and the new oligarchy must owe its endurance to the prince.

Read the excerpt from Act I of Hamlet.
Anettt [7]

Answer:

A. The simile compares the poison to a fast-moving, toxic element, emphasizing its deadliness.

Explanation:

The ghost doesn't compare the uncle to poison. Nor does he personify the vial. He is literally explaining how the uncle poisoned him by poured the poisonous plant hebona into his ear. Lastly, an apostrophe in literature is when you address someone who isn't there. The ghost isn't addressing the uncle. I believe he is speaking to Hamlet in this scene.
