Select the correct text in the passage. Which two sentences in the excerpt from Common Sense by Thomas Paine indicate that Great Britain protected the American colonies for
mutual gain?
But she [Britain] has protected us, say some. That she hath engrossed us is true, and defended the continent at our expense as well as her own
is admitted, and she would have defended Turkey from the same motive, viz., the sake of trade and dominion.
Alas! we have been long led away by ancient prejudices
and made large sacrifices to superstition. We have boasted the protection of Great
Britain, without considering, that her motive was interest not attachment; that she did
not protect us from our enemies on our account, but
from her enemies on her own account, from those who had no quarrel with us on any other account, and who will always be our enemies on the
same account. Let Britain wave her pretensions to the continent, or the continent throw off the dependence, and we should be at peace with
France and Spain were they at war with Britain. The miseries of Hanover last war. ought to warn us against connections.
