Select the correct text in the passage.
which two lines in this excerpt from guy de maupassant's short story "boule de suif" show that relations between most french and german people remained friendly despite the war?
at the end of a short time, once the first terror had subsided, calm was again restored. in many houses the prussian officer ate at the same table with the family. he was often well-bred, and, out of politeness, expressed sympathy with france and repugnance at being compelled to take part in the war. this sentiment was received with gratitude; besides, his protection might be needful some day or other. by the exercise of tact the number of men quartered in one's house might be reduced; and why should one provoke the hostility of a person on whom one's whole welfare depended? such conduct would savor less of bravery than of fool- hardiness. and foolhardiness is no longer a failing of the citizens of rouen as it was in the days when their city earned renown by its heroic defenses. last of all-final argument based on the national politeness—the folk of rouen said to one another that it was only right to be civil in one's own house, provided there was no public exhibition of familiarity with the foreigner. out of doors, therefore, citizen and soldier did not know each other; but in the house both chatted freely, and each evening the german remained a little longer warming himself at the hospitable hearth.

It is much safer to be feared than loved. . among the wonderful deeds of hannibal this one is enumerated: that having led an enormous army, composed of many various races of men, to fight in foreign lands, no dissensions arose either among them or against the prince, whether in his bad or in his good fortune. this arose from nothing else than his inhuman cruelty . . but without that cruelty, his other virtues were not sufficient to produce this effect. . that it is true his other virtues would not have been sufficient for him may be proved by the case of scipio, that most excellent man . . his army rebelled in spain; this arose from nothing but his too great forbearance, which gave his soldiers more license than is consistent with military discipline. –the prince, niccolò machiavelli which words in the passage have negative connotations?inhuman, cruelty, rebelled how do the words with negative connotations support the claim?by defining the actions of a leader who is to be feared
