Read the following excerpt from a 1775 speech by Patrick Henry in which he presents his ideas concerning the American colonists'

relationship with Great Britain:
I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided; and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years, to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves and the house? Is it that insidious smile with which our petition has been lately received? Trust it not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feet. Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss.

What is most likely the author's purpose in this section of the speech?

A. To elicit a strong emotional response from the audience
B. To question the motives behind recent Parliament legislation
C. To reflect upon his own experiences with diplomacy with Britain
D. To warn against the unlikelihood of British cooperation

Arlecino [84]

Correct answer choice is :


D) Compound interest earns more because the amount on which interest is paid increases over time.


Explanation:


Simple interest is the quantity of interest obtained on the initial amount of money spent. Simple interest is paid out as it is gained and does not become part of an account's interest-bearing balance. The invested amount is called the principal. Compound interest is computed on the principal amount and also on the accrued interest of prior periods, and can, therefore, be considered as interest on interest.
