Which part of the excerpt supports the claim that Paine believed the human cost of the colonists' armed struggle against the British was well worth the outcome?The Crisis, No. 1 by Thomas Paine (excerpt) . . . I turn with the warm ardor of a friend to those who have nobly stood, and are yet determined to stand the matter out: I call not upon a few, but upon all: not on this state or that state, but on every state: up and help us; lay your shoulders to the wheel; better have too much force than too little, when so great an object is at stake. Let it be told to the future world, that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive, that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet and to repulse it. Say not that thousands are gone, turn out your tens of thousands; throw not the burden of the day upon Providence, but "show your faith by your works," that God may bless you. It matters not where you live, or what rank of life you hold, the evil or the blessing will reach you all. The far and the near, the home counties and the back, the rich and the poor, will suffer or rejoice alike. The heart that feels not now is dead; the blood of his children will curse his cowardice, who shrinks back at a time when a little might have saved the whole, and made them happy. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death. My own line of reasoning is to myself as straight and clear as a ray of light. Not all the treasures of the world, so far as I believe, could have induced me to support an offensive war, for I think it murder; but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and kills or threatens to kill me, or those that are in it, and to "bind me in all cases whatsoever" to his absolute will, am I to suffer it?

Answer:
(A) Downplays earlier attempts to explain the origins of a social prohibition.
Explanation:
In the given passage, the author presents a hypothesis concerning the various taboos regarding eating in front of someone who isn't. And in this hypothesis, the main emphasis was the limited nature of the food available for people.
The passage also reveals the author's belief that the attempts to explain in the past years regarding the taboos of eating are incomplete. If we are to consider the passage as valid, then we can safely assume that this taboo is mainly around where people have plenty, sometimes more than enough, to eat. And in developing the main idea of the passage, the author seems to downplay previous/ earlier attempts to provide any explanation of the origins of a social prohibition.
