Question

What is the main idea Thomas Paine was conveying in this

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Thomas Paine mentions a few quotations which prove this as evident including,

"Heaven knows how to set a proper price upon goods" This is the notation composed with hyperbolic language to represent the high cost of freedom. This is amplified by his final quote,

"It would be strange indeed.. if freedom should not be highly rated", he emphasises that if we do not value freedom, a surge may occur.

Answer 2

Answer:

D. Freedom is costly, but anything truly worthwhile comes  at a high price.

Explanation:

Paine is trying to say that we can't really cherish the things that is easily acquired, "What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly".

But when it is acquired through hard work, you cherish it and feel accomplished. Freedom is that thing where you need to work hard because it is costly, but in the end it was worth it.
