The sentence in the above excerpt which suggests that Patrick Henry believed the resources available to the colonists were adequate to engage in armed resistance against Britain is:

"Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power."

The correct option is 2.

Patrick Henry in his famous speech “Give me liberty, or give me death!” says that there lies a correct time to attain peace. He uses his power of persuasion to keep his thoughts before people. According to him, he would rather opt for death than to be a slave of any other people. He adds that his freedom can never be counted on materialistic terms. No one has the right to buy anyone's freedom. He can either opt for war or die in order to attain freedom. He asks his people to unite so that they can resist over the suppression they have been facing by the colonists. He adds that for resisting they have enough of the resources available by which they can attain freedom from slavery.

Sentence two seems like the correct answer, as it is talking the most about resources than any other sentence specified. 

Please tell me if I'm wrong. :)
