Lets read each sentence and determine which one has an opinion in it.
1) Thomas Paine believed that reconoiliation with Britain was no longer possible. This can be proved because others beliefs are sometimes said aloud or conveyed in such a way they can be proven true.
2) Reconciliation had been attempted and had failed. This can be proven aswell.
3) It was unfortunate that Paine called for action. You cannot proove that this was unfortunate. This is most likely the answer.
4) He urged the colonists to take up arms against the British. This is clearly a fact, there is proof somewhere that this happened.
Your best option here is 3. You cannot prove that it was unfortunate from every perspective possible.
Answer:
The dreariness of the speaker’s life away from Innisfree.
Explanation:
The lines 'While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey, I hear it in the deep heart’s core' refer to a feeling of closeness to and remembrance of a place dear to the speaker’s heart. There is an implicit sense of removal, of physical distance, contrasted to an emotional proximity.
So we know it reflects his life away from the idyllic Innisfree. Futhermore, the general tone of the phrase, the depiction of the pavements' colour (rather a dull one), appear to suggest a certain general dreariness.
Answer:
The best answer for the question: What is the denotation of the word "bound" in this excerpt, would be, A: trapped.
Explanation:
Trapped is defined as being held, or captured, restrained or entrapped by something or someone. Essentially, it means that a person´s, or something, freedom, is limited due to something tying it, or them, down. When the speaker in this excerpt says that "Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but "to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER", he is making allusion to the fact that binding, or being bound, is like talking about being limited, withheld from their right to be free and to choose their own fates and the way they are governed. Because he uses the word "bound" as a form to talk about limitations, and being held back, especially from freedom, and then makes allusion to this being equal to slavery, then the best option to choose from to answer the question would be A: trapped, which essentially presents the same idea as "bound" would.
