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.
The correct answer here is the third option.
Sarcasm
is when you say ridicule something or say something mockingly rudely
and harshly. The third sentence is told by the duke on the raft after
the duke and the king, with Huck and Jim in tow,
escaped after tricking some townspeople who were going to throw
vegetables at them. But they knew they were going to do that so they
escaped and took all the money and did not even perform the third show.
That's why this is sarcasm as he is mocking the townspeople saying they
can use the vegetables and fruits to hit them fit and make a picnic.
