Based on the stage directions, An alien
does "Figure One"
Explanation:
Maple Street is full of children playing and adults chatting as the shadow falls, followed by a blanket and a burst of colour. Everybody knows, however they believe r]]] and easily restart their tasks. The inhabitants quickly learned that their electricity had gone off, impacting stoves, lawn mowers, vehicles and computers. They're meeting in the street to address the case. Pete Van Horn, pounded in his bib caps, volunteers to move across to Floral Lane, on the next lane, and see whether it's influenced as well. His friends, Steve Brand and Charlie Farnsworth, plan to go to town, but Tommy, a neighbourhood child, encourages them not to go.
Tommy has read the stories of an alien invasion that has created similar issues, so he claims the aliens don't want anybody out of the driveway. Tommy continues that in the plot, aliens are acting as a family that seems to be human, but are explorers, and the power loss that they create is intended to divide the community. The adults are incredulous, assuring him that the trigger is normal, probably the product of sunspots. Charlie wondered whether Pete Van Horn was able to make it to Floral Road.
He doesn't care if he isn't picked to start the game. He usually comes on as a sub in the second half and he often scores a goal in the final minutes. He knows that he can add something extra and when we're lost and there are 10 minutes left to the final whistle, he seems to get that adrenaline rush and just wants the ball to show what he can do. I guess he's our secret weapon- Super-sub Sully!

This excerpt tells the story of a substitute player who is always picked to play in matches almost at the end of them. He is considered a secret weapon who is able to give his team the victory they need. As this is a narrative construction written in the present tense, we must always respect the best grammatical choices in order to have a well-written piece.
For this reason, in questions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8 we must choose the verbs that are conjugated with the third person singular subject ("he", in this case) and in 6 with the first person plural subject ("we", in this case).
The pamphlet seeks to engage Americans in the fight against the British. Indeed, Paine wrote The American Crisis pamphlets during the early stages of the American Revolution that were very unfavorable to Americans and when their cause seemed more uncertain than ever. Support for the Revolution was waning and Paine intended to galvanize it in order to facilitate a turnaround of the current situation.
The analogy of winter intends to show the reader that as winter gives way to the new life of Spring, the initial struggles and defeats of the American Revolution would give life to victory. The use of the terms hope and virtue intend to show Americans that this was a just war against tyranny and that the alternative to victory was the death of democracy.
