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.

I want to see people’s opinion on this.
Tasya [4]

Answer: I would actually disagree on this

Explanation: In America there was a time period where conscientious objectors were ordered by the government to vote. However, their denial to vote brought them severe prison time, torture and opposition. If 16 year olds could vote then people with religious beliefs or who are conscientious objectors would be bullied by political peers and such pressure could obligate them to go against their conscious and norms. From ages 16 to 18 a person is too young to commit the right decisions without a person actually influencing them. A person is capable of thinking for themselves without outward influences when they are about 21 and up. Also, voting is not necessary, it’s simple tradition. It’s a superficial thing, people think they choose the president but in reality it’s the Supreme Court who makes that decision for you. You could fact check that if you attend a civics class or if you directly ask a representative from congress.

One way to punctuate a compound sentence correctly is to join the two independent clauses with
Aleks [24]
Hi,

An independent clause can function as a sentence by itself.

A dependent clause contains subject, and verb, but also contains a dependent marker such as: while, when, because, if, or as.

One way to punctuate a compound sentence correctly is to join the two independent clauses with a semicolon. You can also use a comma and a subordinating conjunction.<span>
