Answers
In this context, we are going to compare and contrast Andrew Carnegie as either Robber Baron or Captain of Industry, or both.
Carnegie was seen as both a captain of industry and Robber Baron; he is called a captain of industry because he expanded the American steel industry through hard work but also, he is considered as Robber Baron because he gained huge profits because of his workers low wages.
Who were called the "captains of industry"?In the 19th century, a captain of industry was a business leader who used his personal fortune to benefit the country in some way. This could have been achieved through increased productivity, market expansion, job creation, or charitable contributions.
In contrast, the robber baron is a business leader who uses political means to achieve personal objectives. By today's standards, the captain of industry would be worth hundreds of billions of dollars more than tech titans like Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and others.

Which evidence from the text supports the central idea that people should follow their own hearts? "She was not of a high rank, nor was she of a low rank." "These ladies resented her presence in the court and made her feel very unwelcome." "Their unkindness caused her to become ill, which in turn kept her at home and away from the court and the emperor." "But the emperor's affection for her only grew and gave him courage to pursue his love despite what others thought."
Answers
Answer:
"But the emperor's affection for her only grew and gave him courage to pursue his love despite what others thought."
Explanation:
The fictional novel "The Tale of Genji" by Murasaki Shikibu talks about the life of a young son of an emperor and his low-class concubine. The tale delves into the aristocratic lifestyle of 11th century Japan and how class plays a huge role in the lives of the people.
As given in the excerpt from the text, the emperor fell in love with a lady who "was not of a high rank, nor was she of a low rank." This made the other ladies jealous and resulted in the illness of that particular lady. But the emperor was determined to pursue her "despite what others thought." This determination to do things that may not seem 'acceptable' in the eyes of others supports the central idea that people should follow their own hearts and not be conscious of what others may think.
Thus, the correct answer is the last/ fourth option.
14. Who wrote a guide for rulers which provided a realistic look at politics and raised ethical
questions about the nature of government and the use of power?
a. Giovanni Boccaccio
b. William Shakespeare
c. Niccolò Machiavelli
d. Baldassare Castiglione
Answers
Answer:
option c
Explanation:
According to Machiavelli, the ends always justify the means—no matter how cruel, calculating or immoral those means might be. Tony Soprano and Shakespeare’s Macbeth may be well-known Machiavellian characters, but the man whose name inspired the term, Niccolo Machiavelli, didn’t operate by his own cynical rule book. Rather, when Machiavelli wrote The Prince, his shrewd guidelines to power in the 16th century, he was an exiled statesman angling for a post in the Florentine government. It was his hope that a strong sovereign, as outlined in his writing, could return Florence to its former glory.
Machiavelli’s guide to power was revolutionary in that it described how powerful people succeeded—as he saw it—rather than as one imagined a leader should operate.
Before his exile, Machiavelli had navigated the volatile political environment of 16th-century Italy as a statesman. There were constant power struggles at the time between the city-states of Italy, the Holy Roman Empire, France and Spain

Who was Stephen Gardiner?
During the English Reformation, Stephen Gardiner, an English Catholic bishop and politician who served as Lord Chancellor under Queen Mary I and King Philip, lived from July 27, 1483, to November 12, 1555. Soon after, Cardinal Thomas Wolsey took notice of his abilities and hired him as his secretary.
It is reported that in this role, he was there at The More in Hertfordshire when King Henry VIII and the French ambassadors were there for the signing of the famed Treaty of the More. He most likely first caught the king's attention on this visit, but it appears that he did not begin actively serving Henry until three years later.
