I have as little superstition in me as any man living, but my secret opinion has ever been, and still is, that God Almighty will

not give up a people to military destruction, or leave them unsupportedly to perish, who have so earnestly and so repeatedly sought to avoid the calamities of war, by every decent method which wisdom could invent. 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. Which sentence best describes Paine's claim in the excerpt?

Answer:

D) God would defend the American colonists' fight because their cause was upright.

Explanation:

In the given excerpt, Thomas Paine proclaims his belief that God is on their side, that is, on the Americans' side, and that they will be sure to get their victory against the British. This is because they (Americans) have long fought the war and are still resilient.

Paine also infers that it sounds outrageous that <em>"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."</em> This description of the enemy presents how Paine projects them(Americans) to be on the right side and that Britain was wrong.

Thus, the correct answer is that Paine thinks <u>God will defend American colonies and their fight against the British because their cause is upright</u>.

puteri [66]
Colloquial English is educated, but still not stuffy sounding. Colloquial is more formal than the way of speaking we would use to talk to our best friend, and doesn't include a lot of slang.

Formal English is both educated as well as stuck up. No one would use this form of speaking while talking, however it is often written. Despite being often written, this form of language is not as poular for witing as it was in the past. Formal English shall never contain slang.

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

A nurse is the most valuable, they save life’s and help prevent death. Sure a teacher can teach us math but what’s so important about that? A nurse is most important because they do scans and draw blood and those things can save life’s. Nurses are by far the most important.
