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.

The Nurse plays a crucial role in facilitating Juliet and Romeo's romance, serving as a confidant for Juliet, being among the few aware of their secret relationship. After their initial encounter, the Nurse takes on the task of arranging their wedding with Romeo, letting him know when to meet at Friar Laurence's for the ceremony. She informs Juliet, 'Then hie you hence to Friar Laurence' cell; There stays a husband to make you a wife.' Furthermore, she enables their meetings even after Romeo's banishment. When Romeo is concealed in Friar Laurence's chambers, the Nurse arrives with a ring from Juliet, indicating Juliet's desire to meet him. She urges him, 'Here, sir, a ring she bid me give you, sir: Hie you, make haste, for it grows very late.'
