Answer:

To evoke in the audience shame for placing self-preservation above the good of the community.

Explanation:

Thomas Paine's "Crisis No. 1" is a political pamphlet that expresses the need for the colonies to revolt against the British monarchy and fight for their independence. This document would become one of the inspirations for the American war of Independence.

Paine states,<em> "the heart that feels not is dead"</em>, referring to those reluctant to participate in the revolt. According to him, those who join the revolt are giving their part to ensure a future for their children and the coming generations. His appeal directs more to those who did not join the cause while they have the chance to be a part of something history will always remember. He reiterates that <em>"the blood of his children will curse his cowardice who shrinks back at a time when a little might have saved the whole and made them happy."</em>

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.

Who were the committee of correspondence? how were they seen as a shadow government?
Andreas93 [3]
The committees of correspondence were shadow governments organized by the Patriot leaders of the Thirteen Colonies on the eve of the American Revolution. They coordinated responses to England and shared their plans; by 1773 they had emerged as shadow governments, superseding the colonial legislature and royal officials. The Maryland Committee of Correspondence was instrumental in setting up the First Continental Congress, which met in Philadelphia. These served an important role in the Revolution, by disseminating the colonial interpretation of British actions between the colonies and to foreign governments. The committees of correspondence rallied opposition on common causes and established plans for collective action, and so the group of committees was the beginning of what later became a formal political union among the colonies.
