  • In this sentence Paine refers to Tories.

Explanation:

The American Crisis is a pamphlet composed by a series of articles written by Thomas Paine,<em> (He first wrote Common Sense which played a significant part in convincing the colonists to fight for Independence)</em>. The American Crisis main purpose was to support the Revolution when colonists began to withdraw from the army.

Tories or Loyalists were American colonists that remained loyal to Britain, which is the enemy Paine is talking about in the excerpt.

<em>"Your conduct is an invitation to the enemy"</em> in this sentence Paine talks about how Tories wouldn't stand up against Britain, he described them as people that lived in fear and that were not brave enough.

"Yet no one in a thousand of you has heart enough to join him" in this part of the excerpt Thomas Paine is talking about how in a thousand Tories there was not a single person that was brave enough to join the army of Britain, according to him Britain was only interested in having soldiers not Tories.

Whats a prefix for polite
Nat2105 [25]

There is only one prefix that is correct to be put at the beginning of the word ‘polite.’ That is the prefix ‘im-’, which forms this word to be ‘impolite.’

 

EXPLANATION:

A prefix is a letter or set of letters that is attached at the beginning of a word (or root of the word) which partially shows its meaning. For instance, the word prefix starts with the prefix ‘pre-’, which commonly means " in front of" or “before." (Instead, a letter or set of letters attached to the end of a word is known as a suffix.)

 

Many English words today comprise Greek or Latin’s prefix. Grasping the meanings of the most frequent prefixes can support to deduce the definition of the new word encountered in reading, specifically understanding that the prefixes can make the opposite meaning of the words, like the difference between impossible and possible.

 

The same prefix can be brought in more than one style (pre- and pro-, for example), and several prefixes (like in-) have more than one value of meaning (in this case, "in" or " to" versus “no" or "without"). Even so, being capable to identify the prefix can help to build a vocabulary repertoire.

 

Rules vary about when a word must have a hyphen splitting it from its prefix. There are particular style guides are used, like Chicago Manual of Style, MLA, or APA, the stylebook can have a guide of hyphenation or a favored dictionary to obey which words to be hyphenated and which words to close up. If the prefix is connected to the proper noun, sometimes it is usually a hyphen, like anti-American or pre-World War II.

Which of the following best describes why Montaigne believes it is advantageous that “barbaric” people have no commerce, educati
Andrews [41]

The correct answer is C. He believes it is preferible to live in innocence and simplicity.

Montaigne was one of the Renaissance writers that used the figure of the non-European or the "noble savage" to reflect and criticise the European society from a different perspective.

In his text <em>On Cannibals</em> (1580), Montaigne does not describes "barbaric" people lack of commerce, education or political system in order to assert European superiority. In fact, Montaigne says that it is preferible to live in innocence and simplicity since these natives are separated from concepts of treachery, cruelty and torture. These concepts, however, are familiar to European societies despite their apparent superior education and political systems.
