excerpt from Tea
Tea is one of those beverages that people all over the
world consume, regardless of culture, time, or age. But
how much do we really know about tea? Tea is produced
from a plant known as the Camellia sinensis. There are
actually thousands of different kinds of tea. The variations
occur as a result of the region where the plant is grown,
the time at which the tea leaves are harvested, and the
processing method. Each variety of tea has its individual
characteristics, including different tastes and health
benefits.

With a question followed by the thesis statement.

Explanation:

It's right :)

overnment is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.

i'm pretty sure it is 1) wants to hide her true feelings about robert. i'm sorry if it is wrong. good luck! : d
