The statement that best describes the excerpt is "This is the minor premise of the Declaration of Independence," as stated in option A and explained below.
<h3>What is a minor premise?</h3>
A premise is an affirmation or statement that functions as the basis for a conclusion. We can have a major premise and a minor premise. Take a look at the examples below:
- Some animals are mammals. --> Major premise.
- All cats are mammals. --> Minor premise.
- Some animals are cats. --> Conclusion.
As we can see above, the minor premise is related to the major premise. With that in mind, we can see that the excerpt from the Declaration of Independence is a minor premise. It is related to the major premise that the 13 colonies should break free from England.
With the information above in mind, we can choose option A as the correct answer.
