In this excerpt from common sense, thomas paine lists the groups that prefer an alliance with great britain over living in a free country. what is his purpose for doing so? 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. a. to provoke the supporters of freedom to declare war against the colonists who prefer the rule of great britain b. to oppose the colonists' belief in the superiority of a european government over its american counterpart. c. to emphasize that reconciling with great britain is misguided and will cause greater suffering for the colonists d. to inform the colonists that a greater source of their suffering is their own fellow man e. to criticize the king of britain for attacking the colonies and imprisoning some of his most loyal followers

the correct answer should be choice c. live coverage.

print journalists gain credibility from neutrality, while tv news reports gain it from live on the spot reporting.

i hope this you and have a great day! : )

when alex falls for the charming new boy at school, cole -- a handsome, funny, sports star who adores her - she can't believe she's finally found her soul who truly loves and understands her.  

at first, alex is blissfully happy. sure, cole seems a little jealous of her relationship with her close friend zack, but what guy would want his girlfriend spending all her time with another boy? as the months pass, though, alex can no longer ignore cole's small put-downs, pinches, or increasingly violent threats.  

as alex struggles to come to terms with the sweet boyfriend she fell in love with and the boyfriend whose "love" she no longer recognizes, she is forced to choose -- between her "true love" and herself.

explanation:

the pronoun reference replaces a noun, but you have to make sure there's no room for confusion.

in the first sentence "her" could be referring to shely or to the sister. the answer there is "shelly called her sister and told her about the new baby."

in the second sentence "it" could be referring to the roof or the floor. the answer there is "since the roof leaks on the family room floor, we need to repair the roof."
