ILL MAKE U THE BRAINIEST Read the following excerpt from Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" and answer the question that follows: "But Britain is the parent country, say some. Then the more shame upon her conduct. Even brutes do not devour their
young, nor savages make war upon their families. Wherefore, the assertion, if true, turns to her reproach; but it happens
not to be true, or only partly so, and the phrase PARENT OR MOTHER COUNTRY hath been jesuitically adopted by the
King and his parasites, with a low papistical design of gaining an unfair bias on the credulous weakness of our minds.
Europe, and not England, is the parent country of America. This new World hath been the asylum for the persecuted
lovers of civil and religious liberty from EVERY PART of Europe."
Why does Paine compare Britain to brutes and savages?
A. To show how strong Britain is
B. To show how caring and fair Britain is
C. To show how cruel and unfair Britain is
D. To show how weak Britain is

Read the excerpt from "mother tongue." lately, i’ve been giving more thought to the kind of english my mother speaks. like others, i have described it to people as “broken” or “fractured” english. but i wince when i say that. it has always bothered me that i can think of no other way to describe it other than “broken,” as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked a certain wholeness and soundness. what best supports the inference that tan believes nonstandard english is no less valid than standard english? tan spends a lot of time thinking about her mother’s “fractured” english. tan has trouble thinking of descriptive words when she is writing. tan’s american education makes it difficult for her to understand her mother. tan winces when she describes her mother’s english as “broken.”
