The correct answer is A)To convince the American colonies to separate from Britain

Thomas Paine's famous pamhplet <em>Common Sense</em> was written as a means to convince colonists that they would be better of without British control. In the passage above, Paine argues that the colonists would have had more financial success without being controlled by England. This is due to the fact that the colonists were often limited to trading just with England as part of its system of mercantilism. This severely limited the colonists and their ability to trade with other countries.
