In Option C, Paine argues that America would have been more prosperous without European interference, particularly from Britain. He suggests that British control was a barrier to America's true potential for growth. Options A and B present viewpoints that America depends on Britain for success; Option A claims that America's well-being is linked to its relationship with Britain, while Option B likens the colonies to a child that should only accept milk, implying they don’t deserve anything beyond Britain's support. This idea is viewed by Paine as ridiculous, though it doesn’t reinforce his argument effectively. Option D highlights that while America will always engage in trade, Britain’s interests are solely driven by self-consumption, which fails to provide robust evidence.
<span>QUESTION 1: B. The narrator’s mental condition.
In “The Yellow Wallpaper,” the wallpaper reflects the narrator’s psychological well-being. The narrator describes the wallpaper as resembling a broken neck and even mentions it appearing to be engaged in self-harm. The increasingly bizarre descriptions of the wallpaper correlate to the narrator’s gradual descent into madness. Therefore, it is reasonable to assert that the wallpaper symbolizes her mental state.
QUESTION 2: B. A sense of entrapment and her wish to break free.
The narrator in “The Yellow Wallpaper” projects her own feelings of confinement and her longing for freedom onto the figure she perceives creeping behind the wallpaper. As the narrative develops, she grows more dissatisfied with her situation within the yellow papered room. Eventually, she perceives a woman trapped behind what she sees as bars on the wallpaper. Since the narrator's desire for escape mirrors that of the woman in the wallpaper, it can be concluded that the figure she sees encapsulates her feelings of being trapped and her yearning to escape.</span>
