Which sentence in this excerpt from Thomas Paine's "The Crisis, No. 1" best summarizes Thomas Paine's method of persuasion?   By

perseverance and fortitude we have the prospect of a glorious issue; by cowardice and submission, the sad choice of a variety of evils—a ravaged country—a depopulated city—habitations without safety, and slavery without hope—our homes turned into barracks and bawdy-houses for Hessians, and a future race to provide for, whose fathers we shall doubt of. Look on this picture and weep over it! and if there yet remains one thoughtless wretch who believes it not, let him suffer it unlamented.

Which theme do Lady Macbeth's words to her husband most often express?
stich3 [128]
I believe that Lady Macbeth's words to her husband most often express her dissatisfaction with him. She believes he is not strong enough, she is emasculating, making her husband feel he's not a real man. She often says she wished she were born a man, so that she could do everything her weak husband isn't capable of doing.

How does Caesar's description of himself support or conflict with his past behaviors with other characters?
Sever21 [200]
Julius Caesar -  A great Roman general and senator, recently returned to Rome in triumph after a successful military campaign. While his good friend Brutus worries that Caesar may aspire to dictatorship over the Roman republic, Caesar seems to show no such inclination, declining the crown several times. Yet while Caesar may not be unduly power-hungry, he does possess his share of flaws. He is unable to separate his public life from his private life, and, seduced by the populace’s increasing idealization and idolization of his image, he ignores ill omens and threats against his life, believing himself as eternal as the North Star.
