C. He learned his lesson too late and wanted to save Scrooge from an afterlife of misery.

Explanation:

“It is required of every man,” the Ghost returned, “that the spirit within him should walk abroad among his fellowmen, and travel far and wide; and if that spirit goes not forth in life, it is condemned to do so after death. …”

The lines above are said by Jacob Marley in Stave One of "A Christmas' Carol". Marley is now a ghost and has come to visit his old friend, Scrooge. According to Marley, people are supposed to evolve while they are alive. They are supposed to become better, kinder, more empathetic toward others. In case they fail to do so, they are bound to do it after death.

That is why he has decided to visit Scrooge. He wants his friend to avoid having the same fate as himself. Scrooge is a cold-hearted man, so Marley wants him to learn his lesson before death and become a better person.

read this passage from the crisis. what rationale is paine using for going to war with great britain? my own line of reasoning is to myself as straight and clear as a ray of light. not all the treasures of the world, so far as i believe, could have induced me to support an offensive war, for i think it murder; but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and kills or threatens to kill me, or those that are in it, and to "bind me in all cases whatsoever" to his absolute will, am i to suffer it? what signifies it to me, whether he who does it is a king or a common man; my countryman or not my countryman; whether it be done by an individual villain, or an army of them? if we reason to the root of things we shall find no difference; neither can any just cause be assigned why we should punish in the one case and pardon in the other.

it is waged war against an army of countrymen

it would lead to independence from britain

it would be an offensive war

it would be a defensive war
