Answer:
inevitable
Explanation:
Thomas Paine used the word "expire" in the following passage:
“Every day wears out the little remains of kindred between us and them, and can there be any reason to hope, that as the relationship expires, the affection will increase, or that we shall agree better when we have ten times more and greater concerns to quarrel over than ever?”
In this passage, Paine makes it clear that the colonies and Britain have less and less in common, that every day the relationship between the two nations is worn out, expired, and weak. For this reason, it was inevitable that a revolution would take place so that each of the nations could go their way independently since their relationship was about to end.
