In the first paragraph, what are the purpose and effect of the comparison & contrasting that Thomas Paine uses to characterize the differences between society and government?

yes

explanation:

a phrase is a set of word that make a sense, an expression formed by two or more words.

" teacher´s dictum on the possession of human "

" made a pile practicing "

" lived to an impressive age and dies "

a clause, in a grammar way is a series of words that have a complete meaning.

" was irritated by the persecution of those who called themselves "

i cannot see a paragraph to answer the question

i would have to say "a" or "d".
