Answer:

Leafing—a gardener tends plants that have leaves

Explanation:

A landscape can be Urban as well, but plants do tend to have leafs. It's a noticeably odd choice of words and it has a purpose. There's no pun in the use of the words "Enjoy" and "Magazine". But the word leaf can mean two things that relate to the gardener and his action in the excerpt:

<em>"a flattened structure of a higher plant, typically green and blade-like, that is attached to a stem directly or via a stalk"</em>

or

<em>"turn over (the pages of a book or the papers in a pile), reading them quickly or casually"</em>

The people's right to revolt against Britain.

Answer: Option B.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The paragraph in the above question has been taken from Common sense that has been written by Thomas Paine. In this paragraph, the author talks about the revolt that the people are going to make against the tyrant and the tyranny.

Tyranny is characterized as serious or unforgiving treatment. A case of oppression is somebody placing somebody in prison for quite a long time for a little wrongdoing. The meaning of oppression is a legislature or ruler with absolute force. A case of oppression is a nation run by a coldblooded despot.
