What does Thomas Paine say in response to the argument that the British

have protected the colonies?

A. That they had to because the colonies bullied neighboring

countries

B. That they care deeply for the colonies, but that the colonies don't

need their protection

C. That they did it because the colonies and Britain share a language

D. That they did not do it on the colonists' account, but on their own

account

i think that the quotes in paragraph 11 contribute to the development of ideas because it provides a good reasoning of the central idea of the text.

i believe it is "“i’ll beat thee, but i would infect my hands.”

explanation:

waves come crashing to grey sullen shores.

powerful and strong, it breathes and roars.

cascading and caressing each grain of sand,

a warm embrace between sea and land.

high above, a seagull soars high.

wings of purity it spreads to fly.

battling high against darkened cloud,

in a wind that blows fiercely, flying graceful and proud.

beneath, the sand is soft and warm.

sculpted by nature, it's weathered the storm.

a passionate battle between calmness and rage,

a new chapter's beginning; don't turn the last page.

i listen again to the whispering waves,

music of nature calming and brave.

its power unknown, its stillness untamed,

mysterious and magical, a treasure earth claims.
