Explanation:

Thomas Paine's Common Sense argued for American independence from Britain, providing logical and persuasive reasons for separation. This influenced the Declaration of Independence, which also aimed to justify separation. The other options are incorrect: Paine didn’t draft the Declaration, the Articles of Confederation are different, and he didn’t suggest who wrote it.
