What is the primary purpose of the couplet in this
sonnet?
Where art thou, Muse, that thou forget'st so long
To speak of that which gives thee all thy might?
Spend'st thou thy fury on some worthless song,
Darkening thy power to lend base subjects light?
Return, forgetful Muse, and straight redeem
In gentle numbers time so idly spent;
Sing to the ear that doth thy lays esteem
And gives thy pen both skill and argument.
Rise, restive Muse, my love's sweet face survey,
If Time have any wrinkle graven there;
If any, be a satire to decay,
And make Time's spoils despised every where.
Give my love fame faster than Time wastes life;
So thou prevent'st his scythe and crooked knife.
- "Sonnet 100,
William Shakespeare

The answer
The first one sorry if it’s wrong
C) But even this is admitting more than is true, for I answer roundly, that America would have flourished as much, and probably much more, had no European power had anything to do with her. thus option C is correct.
<h3>Why British rule of American colonies?</h3>
Although each colony had its own government, the British king maintained power over them. Many colonists were irate by the 1770s because they lacked self-government. This implied that they were unable to rule themselves and establish their own rules. The king demanded that they pay enormous taxes.
According to Paine's claim in Option C, America would have actually been better off if it had not been under British rule. According to him, America's progress and ability to prosper even more were really hampered by its rule by the British. Both options A and B make the case that America needs Britain to succeed. Option A claims that for America to be happy, a relationship with Britain is crucial. America is compared to a child in Option B. According to this, a child should never consume meat if they can get by on milk alone. America should therefore just require Britain. Although Paine evidently finds this absurd, the premise does not support the claim.
