Answer: B. He wrote a letter to the president.
Thomas Paine stated his arguments against the rule of Great Britain through his pamphlet entitled Common Sense.
His arguments are the following:
1) It is absurd for an island (Great Britain) to rule over a continent (America)
2) London is too far from America to rule over it. They don't know the situation that is happening in America and so they are not equipped to rule over it due to lack of data and first hand experiences.
3) The King and the Parliament will ultimately decide in favor of Great Britain regardless if the decision made will inevitably affect America in a negative way.

Answer: The Battle of Midway, June 4-7, 1942.
Further detail:
The Battle of Midway was a "midway" point in the battle against Japan in the Pacific. It allowed the United States, fighting for the Allies, to go from a defensive position to being on offense. The battle was one fought mainly with aircraft, and the US was able to knock four of Japan's aircraft carriers out of commission while only losing one of their own aircraft carriers. Japan's advance across the Pacific halted at Midway, and US forces began its own offensive to retake islands and ultimately pursue the war all the way to Japan itself.
