Which two excerpts in the passage supports the claim that Paine believed the cost of the colonists' struggle against the British was well worth
the outcome?
The Crisis, No. 1
by Thomas Palne (adapted 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 wheet; 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 you may be
blessed. It matters not where you live, or what rank of life you hold, the effect 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 cold; the children will criticize his
cowardice, who shrinks back at a time when a little might have saved the whole, an 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. 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, for I think it wrong; but if a thief breaks into
my house, burns and destroys my property, and threatens me, of those that are in it, and to "bind me in all cases whatsoever to his absolute
will, am I to suffer it?

Read the passage from Animal Farm.
As Clover looked down the hillside her eyes filled with
tears. If she could have spoken her thoughts, it would
have been to say that this was not what they had aimed
at when they had set themselves years ago to work for
the overthrow of the human race. These scenes of terror
and slaughter were not what they had looked forward to
on that night when old Major first stirred them to
rebellion. If she herself had had any picture of the future,
it had been of a society of animals set free from hunger
and the whip, all equal, each working according to his
capacity, the strong protecting the weak, as she had
protected the lost brood of ducklings with her foreleg on
the night of Major's speech. Instead-she did not know
why they had come to a time when no one dared
speak his mind, when fierce, growling dogs roamed
everywhere, and when you had to watch your comrades
torn to pieces after confessing to shocking crimes.
What was most likely Orwell's purpose for writing this
passage?
to show that Clover is more sensitive to violence than
the others
O to remind readers of Major's speech and the original
rebellion
O to present Napoleon as a cruel leader unworthy of the
animals' support
to represent misled followers and their dashed hopes
for better lives
