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.
