Read the excerpt from Thomas Paine’s work “The Crisis” No. 1.

Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but “to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER,” and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth. . . .

. . . Neither have I so much of the infidel in me, as to suppose that He has relinquished the government of the world, and given us up to the care of devils; and as I do not, I cannot see on what grounds the king of Britain can look up to heaven for help against us: a common murderer, a highwayman, or a house-breaker, has as good a pretence as he.

Which phrase from the excerpt best reflects the excerpt’s passionate tone?
“Britain, with an army”
“enforce her tyranny”
“she has a right”
“in that manner”
