Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. Common Sense
by Thomas Paine (excerpt)
Though I would carefully avoid giving unnecessary offence, yet I am inclined to believe, that all those who espouse the doctrine of reconciliation,
may be included within the following descriptions. Interested men, who are not to be trusted, weak men who CANNOT see, prejudiced men who
will not see, and a certain set of moderate men who think better of the European world than it deserves; and this last class, by an ill-judged
deliberation, will be the cause of more calamities to this Continent than all the other three.
It is the good fortune of many to live distant from the scene of present sorrow; the evil is not sufficiently brought to their doors to make them
feel the precariousness with which all American property is possessed.
