I wonder....if this is a multiple choice question? If not I believe the monster represents the societal fear of illness and disease.
The pamphlet seeks to engage Americans in the fight against the British. Indeed, Paine wrote The American Crisis pamphlets during the early stages of the American Revolution that were very unfavorable to Americans and when their cause seemed more uncertain than ever. Support for the Revolution was waning and Paine intended to galvanize it in order to facilitate a turnaround of the current situation.
The analogy of winter intends to show the reader that as winter gives way to the new life of Spring, the initial struggles and defeats of the American Revolution would give life to victory. The use of the terms hope and virtue intend to show Americans that this was a just war against tyranny and that the alternative to victory was the death of democracy.
Answer:
The statement that best describes the excerpt is:
3- Most of the sentences have a similar structure.
Explanation:
The first two sentences may seem longer, having more elements. But from the third sentence on, what we have are simple clauses, independent sentences. The structure is so similar that Paine was able to omit the verb "to be" from the fourth sentence on, since it had been mentioned in the previous sentence, and the other are somehow a continuation of that same idea. Therefore, we can safely say that most of the sentences have a similar structure.

We could say that Gatsby created a picture of himself is an Oxford man.
One of the best evidences which determines Gatsby an Oxford man is a description from the book which refers to Jay Gatsby.
<em>"About Gatsby! No, I haven't. I said I'd been making a small investigation of his past."
</em>
<em>
"And you found he was an Oxford man," said Jordan helpfully.
</em>
<em>
"An Oxford man!" He was incredulous. "Like hell he is! He wears a pink suit.</em>
However, he isn't really an Oxford man. He tries to represent him like that in order to impress Daisy Buchanan and renew his relationship with her. With this status, he tries to include himself as a part of elite society, so that the members of the society could accept him as a rich intellectual. His attempts to be an Oxford man aren't convincing enough, so, despite all his efforts, we couldn't say he is a real example of an Oxford man.
