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.

poizon [28]
There were many changes in the book the crucible in the character John Proctor but the ones that stands out the most are these:
John Proctor at the beginning of the book tells his wife about the affair, his wife retaliates by hating him for it. Abigail (whom he had the affair with) falls in love with him and is emotionally and physically out of her mind. She tries everything in her power to get him back to her. But Proctor refuses to give in. This infuriates Abigail causing her to start accusing everyone along with the help of other teenagers of being a witch. That many people includes John Proctors wife. Seeing that the only way that John could stop Abigail, he confesses to the court of the affair between him and Abigail but the plan is short lived when His wife tells the court that he has never cheated on her. At the end he is accused of being a witch by Mary and then he begins to give a false confession of being a witch which fails and he winds up dying at the end of a rope. So you see there were many changes in his character but all of them led to his downfall!

Performed within the church

A moral play is a type of drama where the characters personify the abstract, concepts and qualities. Present a lesson on good behavior. Moral works were difficult to teach people a lesson on how to live their lives according to church rules.

A mistery work is a medieval work that is based on stories from the bible. Dramatize events in the Bible or the lives of different saints. Each work had four or five different scenes or acts. The priest and monks were the actors. Each scene or act was performed in different place in the city and people moved from one stage to another to see the work. The play usually ended outside the church for people to go outside the church and listen to a sermon after seeing the play.

Troops are made inside the church              

Interludes presents farce comedy. The term farce is derived from the french word for ''stuffing'', in reference to improvisations applied by actors to medieval religious dramas. Later forms of this drama were performed as comical interludes during the 15th and 16th centuries.

Look again at the last sentence of the excerpt. In your own words, explain briefly what you think this sentence means
irina1246 [14]

"A hospital alone shows what war is."

This sentence lets the reader be witness of the war cruelty and its consequences regarding human casualties. While being at hospitals you become aware of the war atrocities. It helps us to reflect that any war leads societies to suffering from death and destruction. No matter what the victims' race, sex, origin or religion are, what should be really important is that human beings are being devastated for those acts of cruelty, despotism and barbarism.
