The excerpt is taken from Patrick Henry's famous "Give me liberty or give me death" speech at the Second Virginia Convention in

1775. Which sentence in the excerpt suggests that Patrick Henry believed the resources available to the colonists were adequate to engage in armed resistance against Britain?
1. Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot?

2. Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power.

3. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us.

4. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave.

5. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest.

The sentence in the above excerpt which suggests that Patrick Henry believed the resources available to the colonists were adequate to engage in armed resistance against Britain is:

"Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power."

The correct option is 2.

Patrick Henry in his famous speech “Give me liberty, or give me death!” says that there lies a correct time to attain peace. He uses his power of persuasion to keep his thoughts before people. According to him, he would rather opt for death than to be a slave of any other people. He adds that his freedom can never be counted on materialistic terms. No one has the right to buy anyone's freedom. He can either opt for war or die in order to attain freedom. He asks his people to unite so that they can resist over the suppression they have been facing by the colonists. He adds that for resisting they have enough of the resources available by which they can attain freedom from slavery.

Sentence two seems like the correct answer, as it is talking the most about resources than any other sentence specified. 

Please tell me if I'm wrong. :)

Crank

Answer:

People for top positions in organization must have clear sense of right and wrong and courage and honesty to say the truth.

Explanation:

The main idea of a paragraph is one which the authors wants to prove with the help of examples, evidences, or by appealing to emotions, logic, or moral values. This idea is the backbone and purpose of the paragraph.

In this case, the authors is trying to persuade the readers of the importance of clarity of thought, courage and honesty to say the truth for people on top positions on an organization. He opines that these qualities are even more important than intelligence and substantive knowledge. The author has just named these qualities, he is yet to prove (mat be later) that why and how these qualities are more important than other qualities.
