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>.

Nitella [24]
The correct answer is A. granite

That is because unlike the other three, granite is not an extrusive rock but rather an intrusive one. They are formed inside the earth where magma cools unlike the extrusive ones that are formed outside when lava cools much faster. The remaining three are formed this way.

Answer:

I’m going to be talking about bullying. Bullying can make someone feel sad, emotional, can have suic*dal thoughts, cutting, and su*cide, and many more feelings that are almost impossible to describe. I’m going to talk about how different bullying can make a person feel. Bullying is a threat to some people; it can also be abuse. Depends on what kind of bullying it is. For example, there are 3 different types of bullying like Physical Bullying, Emotional Bullying, and Cyberbullying. All those types of bullying can change someone’s life easily. I mean it’s bullying, the words people say to a male or female can cause them suic*dal thoughts.  People these days have to think about what they are going to say before they say it. Bullying is when someone causes a threat to others. Sometimes there is abuse bullying where someone can touch a person or hit them for the fun. There is also internet bullying where they could call you someone else names on the internet, which is not right at all. And finally, there is emotional bullying where they tell or call you something that can get to your mind and suddenly break down. All these types of bullying have to stop now!

don't think you can actually give out 270 points but...

good luck :)
