Answer:
Answer is in the explanation.
Explanation:
In grammatically correct sentences, subject and verb must agree in person (first, second, third) and in number (singular, plural). The given passage has three disagreements:
1) ...<em>the fate of the diamond were unknown</em>...
Since <em>the fate</em> is third-person singular it needs to be followed by a verb <em>was
</em>
2) <em>neither men or conflict have dimmed...
</em>
It is a general rule that when we have a neither/nor (either/or) construction, the verb agrees with the closest subject ( in this case<em> the conflict</em>) which is in the third person singular, so it needs to be followed by the verb<em> has</em>
3) ... <em>the twin eighty-year-old brothers suggests.</em>..
The subject here is<em> the twin brothers</em> (they) which is third person plural, so the following verb must be <em>suggest</em>
<em>"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under </em><u><em>absolute Despotism</em></u><em>, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. "</em>
- despotism denotes dictatorship, a tyranny, an absolute power
People should not put up with it, they have the responsibility to act and change something when it goes wrong, if people are being oppressed and under the tyranny of those in power, they shall stand up, if but for future generations' sake.
