Answer:

By January 1776, the American colonies were in open rebellion against Britain. Their  soldiers had captured Fort Ticonderoga, besieged Boston, fortified New York City, and  invaded Canada. Yet few dared voice what most knew was true — they were no longer  fighting for their rights as British subjects. They weren’t fighting for self-defense, or  protection of their property, or to force Britain to the negotiating table. They were  fighting for independence. It took a hard jolt to move Americans from professed  loyalty to declared rebellion, and it came in large part from Thomas Paine’s Common  Sense. Not a dumbed-down rant for the masses, as often described, Common Sense is  a masterful piece of argument and rhetoric that proved the power of words.  Thomas Paine was a firebrand, and his most influential essay — Common Sense —  was a fevered no-holds-barred call for independence. He is credited with turning the  tide of public opinion at a crucial juncture, convincing many Americans that war for  independence was the only option to take, and they had to take it now, or else.Thomas  Paine’s Common Sense appeared as a pamphlet for sale in Philadelphia on January 10,  1776, and, as we say today, it went viral. The first printing sold out in two weeks and  over 150,000 copies were sold throughout America and Europe. It is estimated that one  fifth of Americans read the pamphlet or heard it read aloud in public. General  Washington ordered it read to his troops. Within weeks, it seemed, reconciliation with  Britain had gone from an honorable goal to a cowardly betrayal, while independence  became the rallying cry of united Patriots

Korolek [52]

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

D) People emphasized obtaining knowledge through scientific experiments.

Bacon researched on people's enthusiasm to specifically see and recall occasions that affirm our convictions, suggesting that all superstition is much the equivalent in all of which the beguiled adherents watch occasions which are satisfied, disregard and ignore their disappointment, however it is substantially more typical. Research on this wonder is still directed today in current psychology.

Which statement about the qur'an is true?
gogolik [260]

The answer is C. 

I got this answer by the process of elimination. Not A - Because it is a holy book consisting of the words of God (or Allah) that were revealed to Muhammad in a cave. Not B- The Quran is known for being written in only one language--that's Arabic (translations may be done in different languages, but a Quran itself will always be in the Arabic language.) Not D - Muslims constantly follow the Quran because it is their holy book, much like a Christian with the Bible or a Jew with the Torah. 

Hope this helped!
