Thomas Paine was a political writer who fervently supported the American Revolution. In this excerpt from his popular work Commo

n Sense, Paine uses an analogy to refute a common Loyalist claim. The first king of England, of the present line (William the Conqueror) was a Frenchman, and half the peers of England are descendants from the same country; wherefore, by the same method of reasoning, England ought to be governed by France. Which claim has Paine refuted? The American colonies should join Britain in any future war against France because the colonists are of English descent. Britain should govern the American colonies because the colonists are of English descent. France should govern the American colonies instead of Britain because the British king is a descendant of a Frenchman. The American colonies should not trade with France because of the ongoing war between France and Britain.

The claim Paine refuted is the claim that Britain should govern American colonies because the colonists are of English descent. If you haven't, read Common Sense. It's an awesome read, and actually isn't too hard to understand, even if you aren't used to reading old English.

The correct answer is B) Britain should govern the American colonies because the colonists are of English descent.

The claim that Paine refuted is "Britain should govern the American colonies because the colonists are of English descent."

English thinker Thomas Paine published the famous pamphlet "Common Sense" on January 9, 1776. In that document, Paine invited and urged American colonists to support the independence movement. In his document of 47 pages, Pained argued the reasons why the colonies should be independent. His ideas impacted many people and echoed throughout the 13 colonies. The pamphlet sold approximately 500,000. And for that time. absolutely could be considered a best-seller.

How does "The Black Snake" sound when read aloud?
Alex

Hi there,

the answer to this would be B serious.

I think this is because the way they describe the Black Snake it look like its serious all the time. If you look back at your poem you will see context clues about the story and the characteristics of the Black Snake.

Hope this helped :)

Have a great day
