Answer: The emperor rewards his subjects for jumping over and under a stick.

A summary should focus on all the important details of a passage. Moreover, it should eliminate all the irrelevant, lengthy or unimportant details of a text. In this case, there are two important elements: the fact that the emperor gives out awards, and the fact that the way to earn one is by jumping over and under a stick. This answer includes both elements.

eimsori [14]

Answer:

D. The elephant and rider theory.

Explanation:

Paine's idea that a "tiny island across the sea" shouldn't rule the continent of america is similar to "the elephant and rider" theory. In this theory, the rider of the elephant actually sees himself in charge of everything and even in charge of the elephant, but when there is a sort of disagreement between the elephant and the rider, the elephant will emerge winner. This is similar to "the tiny island across the sea" that feels it can control and rule over America. But when there is war between them, America wins.
