Answer:  D. <em>Detente</em>

Détente means "loosening" or "relaxing."  Countries which have been strongly at odds with one another, with much tension between them, make an effort to relax that tension through negotiations.   

In history, the famous example of détente occurred between the USA and the USSR, especially in the 1970s.  There was an effort to ease the heated tensions of the Cold War.  Rather than continuing the massive buildup of nuclear arsenals in an arms race, the United States and the Soviet Union began to talk to one another about the strategic reduction of armaments. The nations' leaders, Leonid Brezhnev and Richard Nixon, met in Moscow in 1972 -- the first visit of a US president to Moscow.  They signed agreements stemming from these Strategic Arms Limitations Talks (SALT), which began a new direction in policy between the two superpowers.

In Common Sense, Thomas Paine suggested that American independence from Britain was
allsm [11]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf A. \ Just \ a \ matter \ of \ time}}

Explanation:

Thomas Paine published Common Sense in 1776. He wrote this with one purpose: independence.

He hoped that his pamphlet would stir up feelings of discontent and anger to convince more colonists to join the movement of independence. He knew American independence was necessary and inevitable, but was also aware that more support translated to better results.

So he didn't think independence was impossible, uncertain, or illegal, but he suggested it was <u>just a matter of time.</u>
