In “Changing Views of the Earth," why does the author ask about what would happen if people could travel where the weather actually happened?

the passage can be best described as: "the british legislature extended an unwarranted jurisdiction".

we can say that because the text clearly states how the people of the colonies warned the british about their excessive desire to rule over them, without taking into consideration the difficulties their brothers had experienced in america: they struggled to establish the colonies, to adapt to new types of weather, fight with the natives, etc., and how they now see (or then saw) the only way out was to cut all ties with the british, since they ignored the people's petitions.

in the following paragraph, the fourth sentence the correct answer is: three personal subject pronouns

”she was embarrassed when she found that they had been put back on the shelves…”

a   subject pronoun is a personal pronoun. i, you, he, she it, we, they.  

in the sentence it can be observed she, used twice and they used once. is for this reason that is a three personal subject pronoun sentence.
