Read the excerpt from Simón Bolívar’s letter,

1 answer:

5 0

The correct answer is "the tie that bound her to Spain has been severed". The "tie" refers to the colonial rule and "her" refers to America. To put in other words, Bolívar says in that sentence that the colonial rule of Spain over America is over.

With "kept the parts of that immense monarchy together", Bolívar is refering that only the concept of colonialism held the Spanish Empire together, but no one on the American continent felt bounded with the Spanish mainland.

The sentence "inspired in us is greater than the ocean between us" refers to the fact that America and Spain are so far from each other (there is literally an ocean between them), so there is little connection between the two. In this sentence he also says that the hate of the Spanish towards the Americans is bigger than the ocean between Spain and America.

Answer:

O D. God would defend the American colonists' fight because their cause was upright.

Explanation:

Thomas Paine's "The Crisis Number One" is a political statement about his support for the American people's desire and the act of revolting against the British empire. In it, he argues for the need to get independence and that it is the right thing to do for the American people.

Moreover, Paine continues to present an accusatory claim towards Britain and its king, "I cannot see on what grounds the king of Britain can look up to heaven for help against us: a common murderer, a highwayman, or a house-breaker, has as good a pretence as he." To Paine, it seemed like God will not even want to side with the British because of their desire to be violent while the US "have so earnestly and so repeatedly sought to avoid the calamities of war, by every decent method which wisdom could invent."

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
