The answer is:

Machiavelli forces readers to carefully consider the meanings of the words merciful and mercy.

In the passage from "The Prince," the author Niccolò Machiavelli mentions the words mercy and merciful intending to make readers contemplate their meanings with special circumspection. Thus, <em>mercy </em>is compassion towards somebody one can hurt or punish, and <em>merciful </em>means benevolent. In that respect, Machiavelli suggests that an unsympathetic ruler can preserve power rather than a compassionate one.

What does rusesabagina mean when he says that words are powerful tools of life, that they "may be the only ones?"
storchak [24]
Paul Rusesabagina might mean that words have the power to make people act or react in a certain situations. Let´s take an example from his text, he asked the question "What had caused this to happen? Very simple: words" He is referring to a "cool" guy who ends up being a militar carrying guns so Paul blames his parents because he thinks that he might have been told "over and over again" how stupid he was, how he never would be attractive or physically fit. This was used to enforce the power of the elite. So this might be considered a clear case in which  due to words a person might decide his future. <span />

Read the passage below from “Marigolds” and answer question. Miss Lottie’s house was the most ramshackle of all our ramshackle h
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Humorous

Explanation:

Miss Lottie’s house was the most ramshackle of all our ramshackle homes. The sun and rain had long since faded its rickety frame siding from white to a sullen gray. The boards themselves seemed to remain upright not from being nailed together but rather from leaning together, like a house that a child might have constructed from cards. A brisk wind might have blown it down, and the fact that it was still standing implied a kind of enchantment that was stronger than the elements. There it stood and as far as I know is standing yet—a gray, rotting thing with no porch, no shutters, no steps, set on a cramped lot with no grass, not even any weeds—a monument to decay.

"like a house that a child might have constructed from cards. A brisk wind might have blown it down, and the fact that it was still standing implied a kind of enchantment that was stronger than the elements."
