Gregory I increased the political power of the pope because he reformed and rewrote some of the aspects which were expected of the papacy, but which were things he did not want to do anymore. Upset by the privacy he used to have as a monk but which he no longer had anymore, he set out to involve himself more in the larger population's life by sending missionaries to England and by writing dialogues commenting on many different things. He also reformed and revised Roman worship of his day, which included more political power for the pope.
I believe the answer is A i hope this helps!!!!

Thomas Paine wrote about common sense because he wanted the common people of the thirteen colonies which were under the British to fight for their independence from the authority of the British people.
Paine, in his pamphlet wrote certain political and moral talks which could encourage these common people. This resulted in the pamphlet having a great impact on the people to fight for the cause for which this was written.
