Question

Questions 11-20. Read the following passage from Thomas Paine’s The Crisis (1776) carefully before you choose your answers. By comparing the British king to a thief and a housebreaker, Paine suggests that
Select one:
a. British soldiers are launching sneak attacks against the colonists
b. the king is in dire need of money for his treasury
c. the British are trying to take what is not theirs
d. Britain has robbed America of its natural resources

Answer 1

Paine suggests that the British are trying to take what is not theirs, as option C shows.

Why does Paine have this thought?

• Because he believes the British are abusive.
• Because he believes that America belongs to the American people, not the British.
• Because he believes that the products produced in America and the riches of the territory belong to the American people.

For Paine, in addition to not having control of freedom, the British did not own America's wealth and economic production. This belonged to the American people and the British, knowing this, acted abusively, trying to dominate what they didn't have.
