A government of our own is our natural right . . . it is infinitely wiser and safer to form a constitution of our own in a cool deliberate manner, while we have it in our power, than to trust such an interesting event to time and chance. —Thomas Paine, Common Sense, 1776

In this quotation, Paine recommends
refusing to pay taxes to the British government.
doing business without regulations.
forming a government while the chance exists.
leaving American independence to chance.

In this quotation, Paine recommends forming a government while the chance exists.

Explanation:

Thomas Paine wrote "Common Sense", a series of pamphlets advocating for the rights of Americans and their right to be independent. This political pamphlet would become one of the inspirations for the American War of Independence.

In the given excerpt from the pamphlet, Paine states how having one's own government is the natural right of the people. Appealing to the American people, he also suggests that "it is infinitely wiser and safer to form a constitution of our own in a cool deliberate manner, while we have it in our power" without waiting for others to do it for them.

Thus, the correct answer is that Pain recommends the formation of government while there's a chance.

the correct answer is “opportunity cost”. opportunity cost is what a company misses out because it decided in one option over another one. in this case, the company decided to invest in building a factory so it gave up another possible benefit or profit in order to achieve success with the factory.  

trade-off is not the correct answer since it is a situation in which you accept losing something in return for benefits in other areas.

and finally, consequence is a general term used to accept what it comes when you make a decision. it can be a positive or negative consequence depending if the decision you took was the correct one.
