The excerpt is taken from Patrick Henry's famous "Give me liberty or give me death" speech at the Second Virginia Convention in
1775. Which sentence in the excerpt suggests that Patrick Henry believed the resources available to the colonists were adequate to engage in armed resistance against Britain? 1. Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? 2. Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. 3. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. 4. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest.
I'm guessing the answer is 1. Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?
