Hello!

Common Sense<span> was written as a means to encourage American independence. When Paine asks rhetorical questions, he is not really asking questions that have no answers. He is trying to inspire his listeners/readers to answer these questions for themselves. In the third section, Paine states that any future connection to Britain will be "forced and unnatural" and eventually "more wretched than the first." He then asks a series of rhetorical questions, but, ONE OF THEM WERE FOR EXAMPLE, OR FOR INSTANCE, THE MOST IMPORTANT WOULD BE: </span>"How is it possible that a small island nation can rule over all these colonies?"

Hope this All Helped! Have A Wonderful Day! :)

Lunna [17]

Answer:

I think that it would be a great idea to try as hard as she can during the exam and after the test go see a supervisor or teacher to explain what happened. Maybe she can then retake her exam or her situation can at least be taken into account while grading.

ikadub [295]

The most accurate way to describe the excerpt is to choose the option - it is a dependent clause. This means that something needs to be added - you need to finish the sentence so that it becomes an independent clause, and not a subordinate one.

inn [45]

The right answer is "A. The clergy "

You should be referring to the quote from "The Canterbury Tales" where the word gold is used to represent the clergy in all its purity that leaves it in such a high standard that nothing can reach it, just as gold can not be attained by rust.
