      Analyse the following passage and provide an appropriate answer for the questions 18 and
      19.
      Since power is itself a value, forms of influence which include power in their scope are usually
      themselves forms of power. The king’s mistress, though she has only influence, not power, over
      the king, may have power over his subjects in the degree of that influence. Forms of influence
      based on power are themselves forms of power only if the scope of the influence is included
      within that of the power in question. The king may exercise influence over standards of morality,
      say, by virtue of his power position, but he does not necessarily exercise power over morality.
