  • 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.

My thoughts according to the question is that <u>humans are different and wlll need to understand each other to co-exist peacefully</u>

<u />

According to your question, men and women are <em>polar opposites</em> in different ways such as:

  • Men are generally stronger as a result of hormones and bone structure
  • Women are said to be more emotional
  • Men are said to be more logical and make more rational decisions
  • Women can conceive and bear children; men cannot.

Therefore, i believe that <em>understanding each other </em>is NOT a thing of the past as it helps to foster and nurture relationships.

What does foreshadowing mean?
kirill [66]
Foreshadowing means to give hints of the future. Like in "A Tale of two cities" by Charles Dickens, a man writes "Blood" on the wall, that word represents that there's probably a war coming.

The correct option is E. The statement in option E implies that Ivan Llyich has isolated himself from his family and friends  and he lives all alone in his thoughts and mind. He believed that none of his family understand him and that they did not sympathize with his condition. The statement is a statement of a lonely man.
