What argument does the author counter in this excerpt from Thomas Paine's Common Sense? I have heard it asserted by some, that a

s America has flourished under her former connection with Great Britain, the same connection is necessary towards her future happiness, and will always have the same effect. Nothing can be more fallacious than this kind of argument. We may as well assert that because a child has thrived upon milk, that it is never to have meat, or that the first twenty years of our lives is to become a precedent for the next twenty.

The argument that the author is countering in the excerpt given above is the argument that says that America needs to be  politically connected to Great Britain in order to ensure that the nation flourish in the future just as it had happen in the time past. 
The author totally disagree with this argument  and makes it clear that America does not need to associate with the Great Britain just because they want to secure their future.

Read this paragraph from History of Woman Suffrage, Volume I.
fomenos

The correct answer is: Option C. To persuade readers that women deserve the right to vote.


The author begins their statement by introducing a man's point of view in a scenario where women are allowed to vote, and how that would alter their ego and social behaviour. This is done as a means to present a reason for men not to take a policy like that so lightly. The author then, with the final phrase "Let the majority rule", clearly invites the readers to have their voices heard about the matter, expecting these to be raised on favor of women.

1. Which of these activities is the best example of cunning?
prohojiy [21]

I think this is right but I'm not sure but I'll try my best

1) D because cunning refers to skill in deceit and trickery, and telling a convincing lie is the only option that involves both skill and deceit.

2) D because to speak to somebody in confidence means that you want to be confident that the information shared is between the group you share confidence with. Nurse wishes to speak to Romeo in confidence that he will not tell anybody because it is a secret and she wishes only for Romeo to know.

3) B because to counter something means to go against that thing. An example is a counter-argument, or an argument against another argument.

4) B because that is the act <em>against</em> someone. All the other options demonstrate a command, but not a <em>countermand, </em>if you get my gist.

5) A (i think) because the decision to get married was an unwise and hasty decision made of young lust, and ulimately caused the great tragedy. If Romeo and Juliet had taken things slower, things might've been possible renegotiated or at least thought over.

6) B because Friar Lawrence is really Romeo's 'father figure' because his father is so often absent in his life. He acts as a mentor and tries to help Romeo get married to his love.
