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

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
Alast we have been long led away by ancient prejudices and made large sacrifices to superstition. We haveryboasted 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

that there is a conflict

the major theme of langston hughes’s montages of a dream deferred is the deferred, or delayed, american dream of african americans. the poem is about how african americans failed to achieve their goals in time:

this year, maybe, do you think i can graduate?

i’m already two years late.dropped out six months when i was seven,

a year when i was eleven,

then got put back when we come north.

to get through high high school at twenty's kind of late–

but maybe this year i can graduate.

the poem also depicts how african americans had to keep postponing their needs with a hope that someday they would be able to obtain what they desired:

maybe now i can have that white enamel stove

i dreamed about when we first fell in love

eighteen years ago.

but you know,

rooming and everything

then kids,

cold-water flat and all that.

but now my daughter’s married

and my boy's most grown–

quit school to work

and where we're moving

there ain't no stove–

maybe i can buy that white enamel stove!

however, despite their deferred dreams, the poem shows the refusal of african americans to give up easily and let go of their dreams of a better life. their dreams may have been delayed, but they did not lose hope.
