Answer:

The best way to paraphrase this excerpt is:

c. Britain has oppressed the colonists in many ways.

Explanation:

According to Thomas Paine in this excerpt, Britain was not only taxing the colonists. It was binding them in "all cases whatsoever", meaning Britain was trying its best to keep colonists under its control through several designs. In other words, Britain's government was oppressing the colonists in such a way that Paine felt it was comparable to slavery. Colonists had no freedom, no choice. As could be expected, such oppression led to rebellion.

Answer:

The answer would be C (Britain has oppressed the colonists in many ways)

Explanation:

I just got it right on my quiz. I put this answer because the excerpt explains that Britain is trying to enforce the colonists to do things that are only good for the British empire and not the colonies. For example, it talks about the British king using an army to tax and bind the colonists. It also states that the king has declared himself of having the right to do this which makes the colonists feel as though they do not have a choice or free will. This is why the colonists thought the king of Britain was oppressing them.

Developing kindness is important for social competence, relationships, and connection. Select one:
alexandr402 [8]
A)True.
In order to maintain relationships (both social and business relationships) a level of mutual kindness to each other is vital. Without kindness, a connection is impossible to be made. Additionally, if everyone was unkind, the world would be a much colder place than it is currently. Without kindness, compassion doesn't exist, which may result in social incompetence and increased wars and fighting.

Imagine you are Jimmy Wells and describe your encounter with Bob in about 100 words.(First answer brainliest)
faltersainse [42]

I think that part of a letter that Jimmy would write would focus on why he had to arrest Bob.  The note that Jimmy writes to Bob when he is arrested would be a starting point as to why Jimmy would be disturbed:  "Bob: I was at the appointed place on time. When you struck the match to light your cigar I saw it was the face of the man wanted in Chicago. Somehow I couldn't do it myself, so I went around and got a plain clothes man to do the job. JIMMY."  For Jimmy, his letter to Bob would center about how he felt agonized in arresting him.  In the line, "I couldn't do it myself," there might be the basis of a letter to Bob.  

Jimmy would talk about how their friendship as kids, the personalities they both had, experienced a change as they became older.  When Bob talks about how Jimmy was a bit of a "plodder," it might belie the fact that Bob has embraced breaking the law in order to find success.  The letter that Jimmy writes to Bob might delve into this reality, one in which Jimmy has recognized the need to accept the law no matter what the cost.  Jimmy's allegiance to the loyalty supersedes his loyalty to Bob, something that is evident in both the note he wrote to him as he was arrested, as well as the agony he feels now that he had to make the arrest.  The letter to Bob would talk about how Jimmy felt agonized at doing what he did.  Perhaps, it might involve a level of pleading to Bob that he would understand, or it might be more informative in terms of explaining his actions, but I think that the letter to Bob would be rooted in much of what the note to Bob indicated.
