Explanation:

In "Common Sense," Thomas Paine argues for American independence. He believed that if America were free (independent from British rule), France and Spain would have friendly relations with the free Americans, as they had interests in opposing British power. The other options (being subjects of Britain, colonies, or reconciling with Britain) go against Paine's push for independence and the context of international relations he envisioned.

Answer:

B. were free Americans
