Answer:

Your answer would be "to be chief".

Explanation:

"To be chief" is an infinitive clause which functions as the direct object of the transitive verb <em>likes. </em>An infinitive is a verbal consisting of the particle <em>to </em>plus a verb. In this case, the transitive verb <em>to like</em> selects two arguments: the NP <em>he </em>and the infinitive clause <em>to be chief.  </em>In this way, it is possible to say that the inifinitive clause functions as an noun phrase. NPs usually occupy the direct object position.

Which sentence in the excerpt supports the claim that the American colonies could thrive independently from Britain? A) I have h
Digiron [165]

C) But even this is admitting more than is true, for I answer roundly, that America would have flourished as much, and probably much more, had no European power had any thing to do with her.

In Option C, Paine is stating that America would actually have been better off if it was not controlled by Britain. He says that being under British control actually hindered America's progress and kept it from flourishing even more. Options A and B both give arguments for America needing Britain in order to thrive. In Option A it states that a connection with Britain is important for America to maintain its happiness. In Option B it compares America to a child. It states that if a child can survive on milk alone then it should never have meat. Therefore America should only need Britain. We can tell Paine sees this as preposterous, but this initial idea does not support the claim. Option D shows how America will always have commerce but Britain is only concerned with eating. This alone is not enough for strong evidence.
