What evidence from "the storyteller” supports the theme that pride goes before a fall? select two options. “‘it’s a very difficult thing to tell stories that children can both understand and appreciate,’ she said stiffly.” “‘once upon a time,’ began the bachelor, ‘there was a little girl called bertha, who was extraordinarily good.’ “the children’s momentarily-aroused interest began at once to flicker; all stories seemed dreadfully alike, no matter who told them.” “‘was she pretty? ’ asked the bigger of the small girls. “‘not as pretty as any of you,’ said the bachelor, ‘but she was horribly good.’ “there was a wave of reaction in favour of the story; the word horrible in connection with goodness was a novelty that commended itself. it seemed to introduce a ring of truth that was absent from the aunt’s tales of infant life.” “‘why weren’t there any flowers? ’ “‘because the pigs had eaten them all,’ said the bachelor promptly. ‘the gardeners had told the prince that you couldn’t have pigs and flowers, so he decided to have pigs and no flowers.’” “‘unhappy woman! ’ he observed to himself as he walked down the platform of templecombe station; ‘for the next six months or so those children will assail her in public with demands for an improper story! ’”

Read this paragraph 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 idea is stressed in the passage? the desire for liberty the establishment of an oligarchy the dismantling of an acquired state the tendency toward rebellion
