Answer:

A. The differences between the kings and the subjects are not natural or necessary.

Explanation:

<em>Common Sense</em> is a pamphlet written by Thomas Paine in 1775–1776, at the beginning of the American Revolution, demanding independence of the people living in the Thirteen Colonies from Great Britain.

In the given excerpt he is saying that the differences between the kings and the subjects are not natural or necessary. He does not claim that there will always be a need to separate kings and their subjects. In fact, it's the opposite. He is questioning that difference and whether it brings happiness or misery to mankind. He doesn't explicitly mention natural disasters or discuss what the people who belong to the upper levels of society are like. That is not the point of the text, but the unnecessary distinction between the kings and subjects is.

So, the correct answer is A.

the statement that takes a position on an issue or controversy

The claim is the main idea of the text. It is what the argumentative text is trying to prove. The claim takes a position on an issue. An example of a claim would be "Students should be given a study hall period during the school day, even if it means reducing the regular class times." This statement takes a position on the topic of study halls in schools. The rest of the options are all other elements of an argumentative text, but they do not describe the claim.
