The cookies were burning on the stove, much to my horror.

Answer: Option B.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In English Grammar, verbs are known as the action words. The words which show that some kind of action is being done or was being done are known as verbs in the English Grammar.

In the above sentence, since the word burning shows that the cookies were burning means that it is a verb since some kind of action was being performed. And it ends with ing, this means that it is the present participle of the verb burn.

Which sentence in the excerpt supports the claim that the American colonies could thrive independently from Britain? A) I have h
Digiron [165]

C) But even this is admitting more than is true, for I answer roundly, that America would have flourished as much, and probably much more, had no European power had any thing to do with her.

In Option C, Paine is stating that America would actually have been better off if it was not controlled by Britain. He says that being under British control actually hindered America's progress and kept it from flourishing even more. Options A and B both give arguments for America needing Britain in order to thrive. In Option A it states that a connection with Britain is important for America to maintain its happiness. In Option B it compares America to a child. It states that if a child can survive on milk alone then it should never have meat. Therefore America should only need Britain. We can tell Paine sees this as preposterous, but this initial idea does not support the claim. Option D shows how America will always have commerce but Britain is only concerned with eating. This alone is not enough for strong evidence.
