The answer is letter C.
We have boasted the protection of Great Britain, without considering, that her motive was interest not attachment; that she did not protect us from our enemies on our account, but from her enemies on her own account, from those who had no quarrel with us on any other account, and who will always be our enemies on the same account. 
In this sentence, it is admitted that Great Britain protected the colonies, which would be for the gain of the colonies, but also that is did so for its own gain, so the gain was on both parts, "mutual" - I think that this is the correct answer.

What does a dog like to see
leonid [27]

Answer:

Turns out, dogs have fewer cone receptors than humans — which means they can't see as many colors. Human cones can detect 3 colors: red, green, and blue. ... This boosts dogs' night vision even more and is why dogs' eyes shine in the dark. Turns out, dogs' eyes see much more than just black and white

In your own words, define the meaning of ‘cyclical structure’ and explain what is meant by contrasting beginnings and openings.
ss7ja [257]
Basically you have a motif of something eg fruit. Then that motif gets repeated at the end. So even if you have a contrasting beginning and end you can still have like a sentence that repeats cyclically eg ‘humanity can be saved’ or something like that.

A theme or motif or phrase etc that recurs or goes back to the beginning, at the end

cyclical structure is like when when the end situations are in some way the same as they are at the beginning.

It can foreshadow or make you sort of guess what might happen at the end
