The intended purpose of pamphlets like Common Sense and The Crisis #1 were to build public opinion for something that was very controversial: American Independence from the British Crown. It is important to remember that many people living in the American colonies considered themselves to be, first and foremost, British.
It was considered treasonous by many in the Colonies to declare the need for independence. There needed to be a publicity campaign to build American support for revolution, and these pamphlets helped to create that debate and convince people of something that was once considered unheard of.
Assuming the italicized clause is <em>Since its establishment, </em>the correct answer here is elliptical clause.
Elliptical means that a word which would normally be part of a sentence is excluded, usually for stylistic reasons. Here, the verb is missing, which is why it is elliptical. The question is oddly formulated too - given that there is no verb here, it cannot be a clause, but rather a phrase, but since there is no such option here, then the correct answer is elliptical clause.

The short italicized sections of the book contain the
introduction of the ‘author’ of the book who establishes himself as a character

a book. He already had two books that flunked and thus he traveled to Bombay.
Here he became dejected as his goal to write about Portugal did not
materialize. He wandered through India and reached the town of Pondicherry
which was once controlled by the French Empire. He met Francis Adirubasamy who
became a pivotal character and started the ball rolling to create a book that
is ‘nonfiction’; fact that was
reestablished in other parts of the book with the same fashion. </span>
