English
1 answer:
Ludmilka [50]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Option C: He refutes the idea that America depends on Britain, using the opinion that America's trade has a secure future.

Explanation:

Thomas Paine refutes the argument stated in the beginning of the passage. He refutes it not on a single basis but on two basis.

First he refutes it by stating, <em>"Nothing can be more fallacious than this kind of argument." </em>And, next he says, <em>"But even this is admitting more than is true, for I answer roundly, that America would have flourished as much, and probably much more...".</em>

So, what Thomas really wants to say is that America would still have flourished even without British or any other European countries because America had enriched herself by commerce.

Options A and B are incorrect because this is the argument he is trying to refute.

No such thing as in option D is presented in this passage.

Answer and Explanation:

1. In the real world we are not able, often to have a panoramic view of all the factors that compose it and for that reason, we often have a lot of difficulty to understand the world and how it affects us. As a result, we feel lost and without explanation for the problems we see in our reality and we feel oppressed because of it. However, the stories manage to give us a panoramic view of a world that is not real, but which in parts, can be very similar to ours, because of this view, we can understand the factors that form, modify and influence situations and we can apply this understanding in our real world, having a greater understanding of everything around us. In other words, stories have the power to unfold the elements and factors of the world and place them in a linear and accessible system, where we can analyze and understand them.

2. The hero's journey is formed by a set of situations that transform and allow a character to grow and evolve. Growing and evolving are not easy things to do, for this reason, the hero goes through difficult situations, but educating and edifying. We can learn lessons like resilience, perseverance, responsibility, commitment and strength, which can be applied in our real world, promoting a better emotional quality and building our personality.

Write the similarities and differences between the character muntaz and grandfather Akbar​
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

They were different in many ways. Shahjahan reign was very peaceful. He did not fight many wars hence he was more focused on building monuments etc. Shahjahan was not very religious. He was very secular King. He liked grandeur and had a lavish lifestyle

Aurangzeb was very religious and led a very simple life. Aurangzeb did not like to live a grand life and his personal expenses were borne by selling Quran written by him. Aurangzeb was always fighting some war or the other and as a result, he had a vast Kingdom much larger than he had inherited from Shahjahan,

Even in his death, Aurangzeb preferred to be buried in a simple grave and not build a huge Mausoleum like Taj Mahal preferred by his father
