Why does Paine compare the king to a highwayman in order to accuse him of theft?
a. He wants to relate to the soldiers by sharing secrets about the king.
b. He wants to confuse the loyalists by sabotaging their communications.
c. He wants to appeal to the masses through his use of relevant examples.
d. He wants to convince the patriots to support the separation of church and state.
The reason why Paine compared the king to a highwayman in order to accuse him of theft is that "He wants to appeal to the masses through his use of relevant examples," since Paine was a champion of the "common man" in the colonies.
