PLEASE HELP ASAP WHO CAN ANNOTATE A STORY FOR ME IN 30 MINUTES

which book is it because i might knoe the anwser

the answer is:

to persuade readers that a conquering prince must destroy a former republic if he hopes to hold it.

in the excerpt from "the prince," the author niccolò machiavelli suggests that to take possession of a city and endure the control over it, it is necessary to destroy it first. otherwise, people who have known freedom will eventually turn against the new rulers and fight back to recover their power.

d.i almost had them all lined up, and then my baby brother knocked them all over.

this contains a dependent and independent clause, it is not simple.
