What is one way a Neapolitan chord can be tonicized?

Correct answer: By preceding it with its own dominant, such as V7/N.

Explanation

Just like diatonic chords, the chromatic Neapolitan chord can be made to sound like a temporary tonic by preceding it with its own secondary dominant (V/N) or secondary leading-tone chord (vii°/N).
