Read this excerpt from Thomas Paine's famous essay "The Crisis Number One":I have as little superstition in me as any man living, but my secret opinion has ever been, and still is, that God Almighty will not give up a people to military destruction, or leave them unsupportedly to perish, who have so earnestly and so repeatedly sought to avoid the calamities of war, by every decent method which wisdom could invent. Neither have I so much of the infidel in me, as to suppose that He has relinquished the government of the world, and given us up to the care of devils; and as I do not, I cannot see on what grounds the king of Britain can look up to heaven for help against us: a common murderer, a highwayman, or a house-breaker, has as good a pretence as he.

Which sentence best describes Paine's claim in the excerpt?

1 God would not take sides between the British and the American colonists.

2 It was necessary to save Americans because God did not support military destruction.

3 It was necessary for America to fight the British to defend their religious values.

What are Names?

A name is a term used for identification by an external observer. They can identify a class or category of things, or a single thing, either uniquely, or within a given context. The entity identified by a name is called its referent. A personal name identifies, not necessarily uniquely, a specific individual human. The name of a specific entity is sometimes called a proper name (although that term has a philosophical meaning as well) and is when consisting of only one word, a proper noun. Other nouns are sometimes called "common names" or (obsolete) "general names". A name can be given to a person, place, or thing; for example, parents can give their child a name or a scientist can give an element a name.

Which two statements most accurately describe a tragic drama? 1.Based on the down fall of the main charater. 2.Based on mistaken identities that cause a lot of confusion. 3. Centered on the theme of marriage with inter winning plots. 4. Centered on a major flaw in the main characters personality. 5. Based on the dramatization of significant historical events.

Answers

Answer:

1 and 4

Explanation:

A tragic drama is a theatrical representation of the fall of kings or nobles. It begins in happiness and prosperous situations which end in chaos and catastrophe. The main character in a tragedy tends to be a remarkable person full of nobility who is degradated in the course of the play, thus, option 1. The degradation of the tragic hero revolves around a major flaw or various flaws in his personality which indeed provides a dramatic touch. Consequently, on stage we can see Macbeth among many memmorable tragedies.

I would go with:
1. Based on the down fall of the main character
4. Centered on a major flaw in the main characters personality.
Because, those two statements are the worst of them all and given that they're looking for a TRAGIC statement, 3 & 4 wouldn't  really fit in that category. I hope this helps!

Among the upper classes, tea had been popular since before 1700. It received celebrity endorsement from Charles II’s queen, Catherine of Braganza, and from Queen Anne. It came from China, it was expensive, refreshingly bitter and drunk in tiny cups without milk or sugar. People kept their tea in locked tea caddies, as if it were a drug; for those who could afford it, it often was. In the 1750s Samuel Johnson confessed himself a happy addict:A hardened and shameless tea drinker, who has for twenty years diluted his meals with only the infusion of this fascinating plant, whose kettle scarcely has time to cool, who with Tea amuses the evening, with Tea solaces the midnights, and with Tea welcomes the morning.
