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

to live under their own laws and in freedom, there are three courses for those who wish to hold them: the first is to ruin them, the next is to reside there in person, the third is to permit them to live under their own laws, drawing a tribute, and establishing within it an oligarchy which will keep it friendly to you. Because such a government, being created by the prince, knows that it cannot stand without his friendship and interest, and does its utmost to support him; and therefore he who would keep a city accustomed to freedom will hold it more easily by the means of its own citizens than in any other way. Which statement best summarizes the central idea of the paragraph? A prince can hold a newly acquired state that is accustomed to freedom only by first ruining it, then moving there and establishing an oligarchy that is loyal to him. 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. A prince can hold a newly acquired state that is accustomed to freedom only by first ruining it, then moving there and winning the citizens’ loyalty by granting them freedom. 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, all of which are equally effective.

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.

<span>Squire With him there was his son, a youthful squire, A lover and a lusty bachelor, With locks well curled, as if they'd laid in press. Some twenty years of age he was, I guess. In stature he was of an average length, Wondrously active, aye, and great of strength. He'd ridden sometime with the cavalry In Flanders, in Artois, and Picardy, And borne him well within that little space In hope to win thereby his lady's grace. Prinked out he was, as if he were a mead, All full of fresh-cut flowers white and red. Singing he was, or fluting, all the day; He was as fresh as is the month of May. Short was his gown, with sleeves both long and wide. Well could be sit on horse, and fairly ride. He could make songs and words thereto indite, Joust, and dance too, as well as sketch and write. So hot he loved that, while night told her tale, He slept no more than does a nightingale. Courteous he, and humble, willing and able, And carved before his father at the table.</span>

In 300 words or less, compare and contrast the symbol of "the road" in Walt Whitman's "Song of the Open Road" and Robert Frost's
alexgriva [62]
The Song of the Open Road and The Road Not Taken show the difference between Walt Whitman and Robert Frohavest in their perpectives on roads. To Walt Whitman going on the Open Road is like going on an adventure and revelling in all the sights and sounds that one passes whereas for Robert Frost when he says for example, Two roads diverged in the yellow wood" and that philosophically the road one takes in life determines your experiences and perspectives on life so that say someone who never leaves the say small town he/she grew up in will most likely have a more narrow perspective on life than someone who ventured out in the world and travelled and encountered other cultures etc.
