Answer:
He hopes it will inspire them to keep fighting for independence.
Explanation:
<em>He hopes it will inspire them to return home to England</em> – this is not the right answer. Thomas Paine supports the fight against England, not return to it.
<em>He hopes it will persuade them to emigrate to America</em> – this is not the correct answer. Thomas Paine wrote for people who were already in America.
<em>He hopes it will persuade them to draft the Declaration of Independence</em> – this is the wrong answer. Thomas Paine published The American Crisis when the Declaration of Independence was already made (in 1776.)
<em>He hopes it will inspire them to keep fighting for independence</em> – <u>this is the correct answer. </u>Thomas Paine wrote the pamphlet to express liberal ideas and support the fight for freedom. <u>In the conclusion, he even wrote that he sees “independence as America's natural right and interest”, directly supporting the fight for America’s independence and autonomy.</u>
