Answer:
The best answer for the question: What is the denotation of the word "bound" in this excerpt, would be, A: trapped.
Explanation:
Trapped is defined as being held, or captured, restrained or entrapped by something or someone. Essentially, it means that a person´s, or something, freedom, is limited due to something tying it, or them, down. When the speaker in this excerpt says that "Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but "to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER", he is making allusion to the fact that binding, or being bound, is like talking about being limited, withheld from their right to be free and to choose their own fates and the way they are governed. Because he uses the word "bound" as a form to talk about limitations, and being held back, especially from freedom, and then makes allusion to this being equal to slavery, then the best option to choose from to answer the question would be A: trapped, which essentially presents the same idea as "bound" would.
B. The sentence in the active voice is: "In each inning, the pitcher threw at least one strike".

Tenses formed with the auxiliary verb "to be" and the past participle, followed by the preposition "by" when the performer of the action is explicitly mentioned, are not used in the active voice.
