Read the excerpt from Thomas Paine's work "The Crisis" No. 1. Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that sh

e has a right (not only to TAX) but "to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER," and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth.... ... Neither have I so much of the infidel in me, as to suppose that He has relinquished the government of the world, and given us up to the care of devils, and as I do not, 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. The words "slavery," "devils," and "murderer" evoke a sense of O -anger and injustice.
-fear and anxiety.
-confusion and chaos.
-guilt and shame.​

Answer:

The words "slavery", "devils", and "murderer" evoke a sense of:

A. anger and injustice.

Explanation:

Thomas Paine (1737-1809) was a British writer and political philosopher. Paine supported the American revolution, claiming in his writings that England had no right to subjugate the American colonies.

That is, as a matter of fact, the theme of the passage we are analyzing here. Paine uses words such as "slavery", "devils", and "murderer" in order to convey feelings of anger and injustice. What England wants for itself and America is an owner-slave relationship. In doing so, the king of England is acting in a way that is not appeasing to God, an evil way. The king is, according to Paine, just like a regular thief or murderer.

As we can see, Paine is appealing to the readers' emotion, to their sense of justice, to convey his point. The same way that having one's house broken into by a burglar is enough to make anyone angry, so should be having your country broken into.

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

B.) Who

Explanation:

The curator of the art museum, who gave a speech last night, will be attending tonight's ceremonies, as well.

The term "that" is a less formal way to put it. And using the term "which" does not make grammatical sense, so your best choice would be "who".

2. How does the author introduce the main ideas of the passage?

3. What is the author's main purpose in the article?

<u>3. D. to expose the reader to different coming-of-age ceremonies in different cultures</u>

<u>4. C. Both celebrations and ceremonies involve a religious component and a party.</u>

1. Indeed, we can note from the text the author's emphasis on the coming-of-age ceremony and celebration. Hence, the central idea of the text is best expressed by the statement, "Many cultures celebrate the transition from childhood to adolescence with a coming-of-age ceremony and celebration."

2. We can remember in the last paragraph the author after<u> </u>explaining a number of specific traditions he then summarizes how they are all the same by saying,<em> "all these ceremonies demonstrate is that becoming an adult is not something one has to do alone" </em>

<em>3. </em>Yes the text appears to be written in an expository format, done in other to expose the reader to different coming-of-age ceremonies in different cultures.

4. We can easily observe that in Jewish cerelebration (bar or bat mitzvahs) it involves going to a place of worship (the synagogue), while in Quinceanera we are told<em> "The celebration...begins with a mass"</em> (which is a religious component).
