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.

Which sentence describes a key difference in the way that the novel The War of the Worlds was written and the way the radio broa
slamgirl [31]

Answer: B.The novel was written in past tense, and the radio broadcast was presented in present tense.

<em>The War of the Worlds</em> is a novel by H. G. Wells, first published in 1897 by Pearson's Magazine. It tells the story of the conflict between humans and a race of aliens. The novel uses the past tense.

On the other hand, the transcript of the radio broadcast uses the present tense. This is one of the reasons why the broadcast is so famous nowadays. An "urban myth" (as its veracity is disputed) says that when the broadcast aired on October 30, 1938 over the Columbia Broadcasting System radio network, it caused panic among the listening audience, who thought the alien invasion was a piece of news.

Identify the adverb that modifies the verb
Alecsey [184]
1. The adverb that modifies the verb is c) ever. Without it, it wouldn't be completely clear as to which time frame the speaker refers to. It may have been for example the last year, or in some other particular moment.

2. The adverb that modifies the verb is b) always. It adds to the sense of urgency of wearing a life jacket when rafting. Without it, the meaning of this sentence wouldn't be so precise.
