Answer 1

Answer:

One reason that Thomas Paine brings up the opposing argument that the colonies have done well under British control is option D) To create an opportunity to disprove the argument. In Common Sense (pamphlet), Paine advocates for independence from Britain addressing this words to the common people of the Colonies. By saying that the Colonies have done well he creates the opportunity to say that to believe they will still do well is misleading.

Explanation:

For much of its early history, the British ruled their empire through terror. The colonies were run as a military dictatorship, often under martial law, and the majority of colonial governors were military officers.

The Thirteen Colonies, also known as the Thirteen British Colonies or the Thirteen American Colonies, were a group of colonies of Great Britain on the Atlantic coast of North America founded in the 17th and 18th centuries which declared independence in 1776 and formed the United States of America.
