What is the author's viewpoint in this excerpt?
Read the excerpt from "Bone Detective;" by Lorraine Jean
Hopping
The Hunley recovery team planned to display Diane's casts
in a museum that was about to be built. But did the casts
belong in a public exhibit? Some people objected to
displaying soldiers' remains-even though they were
plastic replicas. Diane saw nothing wrong with it. In fact,
she had no qualms about showing the real bones.
"If people want to really learn about the soldiers," she said,
"you have to show the bones. The bone is a record of a
person's life, especially the last part-the circumstances of
death."
How and why did the Hunley sink? What can we learn
about the lives--and deaths of its ill-fated crew?
Scientists will likely be investigating the answers for years
to come, thanks in part to Diane's casts.
1. The author disagrees with Diane France and her
decision to show the soldiers' bones at a museum.
2. The author appreciates Diane France for helping
scientists by making casts of the soldiers' bones.
3. The author believes that Diane France should have
in
done more to help the scientists understand the Hunley
submarine.
4. The author hopes Diane will use her skills on military
intelligence missions in the future.

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
