[people would not believe the extent of] her power. Even though [the Spartans] occupy two-fifths of Peloponnese and lead the whole . . . [with] numerous allies beyond . . . because the city is neither built in a compact form, nor is it adorned with magnificent temples and public edifices (but instead is composed of villages after the old fashion of Hellas) there would be an impression of inadequacy. . .

Read this passage:In ancient times, a population of 140,000 people made Athens the largest city in Greece. It was located in Greece's Attica region, near the Bay of Phaleron. Its economy was fueled by agriculture, and Athens was an important center for trade. Its culture was forward-looking and democratic, and military service was optional for its citizens. Located 150 miles inland on the Peloponnese peninsula of Greece, Sparta had a population of 100,000, and its economy also depended on agriculture. Unlike Athens, Sparta was ruled by a small body of elite citizens rather than by the people themselves. Spartan culture emphasized physical strength and discipline, and it had rigid requirements for all citizens. For instance, military service was mandatory for all adult males.Which organizational pattern is used in the passage?A.SequentialB.Compare and contrastC.Cause and effectD.Problem-solution

Read this passage from chapter 5 of The Prince. There are, for example, the Spartans and the Romans. The Spartans held Athens and Thebes, establishing there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. The Romans, in order to hold Capua, Carthage, and Numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. They wished to hold Greece as the Spartans held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. So to hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain them otherwise than by ruining them. And he who becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it, for in rebellion it has always the watchword of liberty and its ancient privileges as a rallying point, which neither time nor benefits will ever cause it to forget. And whatever you may do or provide against, they never forget that name or their privileges unless they are disunited or dispersed, but at every chance they immediately rally to them, as Pisa after the hundred years she had been held in bondage by the Florentines. What is Machiavelli’s primary purpose in writing this passage? to inform readers about the history of Rome and Sparta and how they built their empires to inform readers about the fates of the cities conquered by the Spartans and the Romans to persuade readers that a conquering prince must destroy a former republic if he hopes to hold it to persuade readers that a republic will remember freedom and someday rebel against a conqueror
