Answer:
I think the correct answer is B
<span>The one reason that Thomas Paine thinks the colonies stand a
good chance against the British was that the colonies had very less to lose in
the fight against the British. On the other hand the British had everything to
lose once the colonies freed themselves from the oppression. The colonies had
every resource to prepare arms for the fight against the British. The British
would lose out financially in a big way as the colonies would then stop paying
undue taxes that the British government charged. </span>
