Answer:
C. The people felt relief at the end of their journey.
Explanation:
In this context, the sentence in quotation marks means that the people who had just endured a long and dangerous trip across the ocean felt relieved that their travels were over and that they were able to stand on solid ground once again. The sentence is, indeed, a simile, in which something, stepping foot on solid ground, is likened to something else, in this case, breathing fresh air.
The sentence that best compares the two excerpts is this: THOMAS PAINE'S PURPOSE IS TO PERSUADE HIS AUDIENCE TO ABANDON THEIR COURSE OF ACTION. PATRICK HENRY'S PURPOSE IS TO EXHORT HIS AUDIENCE TO PERSIST IN THEIR COURSE OF ACTION.
In excerpt one, it can be seen that, Paine is appealing to the colonists not to go into battle with the British, telling them it is not easy to conquer the British [Tyranny, like hell is not easily conquered}. In excerpt two, Patrick Henry made it obvious that, all that can possibly be done to appeal to the Britain government concerning the welfare of the colonists has been done but all have been unsuccessful. Patrick believed that the only option that remain for the colonists is to fight in order to set themselves free and this course of action he firmly encouraged the colonists to pursue.
