Question

read the excerpt from thomas paines work \the crisis\ no. 1.
britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to tax) but \to bind us in all cases whatsoever,\ and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth. . . .
. . . neither have i so much of the infidel in me, as to suppose that he has relinquished the government of the world, and given us up to the care of devils; and as i do not, i cannot see on what grounds the king of britain can look up to heaven for help against us: a common murderer, a highwayman, or a house - breaker, has as good a pretence as he.
the words \slavery,\ \devils,\ and \murderer\ evoke a sense of
○ anger and injustice
○ fear and anxiety
○ confusion and chaos
○ guilt and shame

Explanation:

To determine the correct option, we analyze the connotations of the words "slavery," "devils," and "murderer." "Slavery" implies unjust subjugation, "devils" suggests evil, and "murderer" denotes immoral and harmful actions. These words are used to criticize Britain's actions, evoking feelings of anger at the injustice and a sense of the wrongness of Britain's tyranny. "Fear and anxiety" (B) is incorrect as the words don't primarily create fear. "Confusion and chaos" (C) doesn't fit as the words are clear in their condemnation. "Guilt and shame" (D) is wrong because the words are about Britain's actions, not evoking guilt in the reader or the subject of the text. So the correct option is the one related to anger and injustice.

Answer:

A. anger and injustice
