Which sentence in this excerpt from "common sense" by thomas paine proposes that the american colonies should be neutral in their relationships with foreign nations?

If the choices are:

A: Our corn will fetch its price in any market in Europe, and our imported goods must be paid for, buy them where we will.

B: As Europe is our market for trade, we ought to form no partial connection with any part of it.

C: The next war may not turn out like the last, and should it not, the advocates for reconciliation now, will be wishing for separation then, because, neutrality in that case, would be a safer convoy than a man of war.

D: The time likewise at which the continent was discovered, adds weight to the argument, and the manner in which it was peopled increases the force of it.

then the answer is B.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
