Answer:

The correct option is "The place was now almost deserted...". This portion foreshadows the symbolic loneliness of the music club.

Explanation:

The selected choice above contains the words "deserted" and "loneliness," which have nearly identical meanings.

When a location is devoid of people, it is said to be deserted.

When a location is empty or is not visited by people, it is said to be lonely.

The right option is They outline reasons that support the claim that "it becomes necessary... to dissolve the political bands" with England. According to Thomas Jefferson, all men are born with the rights to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. The state of things back then, with the mentioned political bands with England, were preventing the American colonies to achieve or fully enjoy such rights. First off, governments are instituted from the consent of the governed people; this is not possible under a king (kings, and particularly kings from European empires such as France and England, used to have absolute power and were despots). Then, in order to establish a new government which will set rules and regulations for the governed ones to abide by on the pretense that such regulations and rules aim at protecting and benefitting them (which is what national Constitutions are for), the people has a right to throw off a regime threatening their independent lives, liberties and pursuit of happiness. Lastly, it is stated that the present King of Great Britain does not respect the rights or self-determination of people living in any of the initial Thirteen United States of America and, according to Jefferson, seeks the establishment of an absolute Tyranny. All the above reasons led to the necessity of cutting bonds from Great Britain.
