The answer is to convince readers that a prince must choose a trustworthy servant to represent him
Explanation:
Niccolo Machiavelli, the author of the revolutionary and controversial book, 'The Prince' wrote the passage stated in Chapter 22 to convince its readers that a prince must choose a trustworthy servant to represent him.
Machiavelli wrote that <u>a servant is a representation or a reflection of what kind of person the prince is</u>. He argued that although a servant is of no importance to a prince, his presence and traits will be a basis of forming an impression or an opinion about the prince.

Answer:
The correct answers are "magical realism" and "authorial reticence".
Explanation:
Magical realism is a style of fiction writing that takes aspects of the everyday world and adds magical elements as if they were ordinary. The concept of authorial reticence is related to magical realism, as it refers to the lack of an opinion about the accuracy and credibility of events such as the magical elements in a story. Therefore, the narrator accepting absurds as ordinary in "There’s a Man in the Habit of Hitting Me on the Head with an Umbrella" is known as magical realism or authorial reticence.
