Transcript

00:00

Thank you We sneak in Sorry And here's your smoke

00:08

Use your brought to you by snappy comebacks because if

00:12

you're so smart wire you in school or something comebacks

00:18

or heart All right check the following passage Pain's argument

00:24

spain Are you scales in favor Chalmers Well shmoop charlie

00:39

All right And chalmers argues that great britain cares for

00:44

its subjects and provides the best possible life for which

00:48

is the following statements Best describes the way he would

00:51

have responded to this plane Answer choices are Fighting that

00:59

party well now admittedly pain might have preferred to just

01:03

respond Uh suck lemons chalmers the's options give us some

01:07

slightly more tactical options but which is the correct response

01:11

Well first we've got to go back to the argument

01:13

that pain's making he thinks it's time for the colonies

01:16

to shed their authoritative british rule and form a new

01:20

democracy that can ensure mutual prosperity So it's pretty unlikely

01:24

he'd advocate throwing in the towel and putting off independents

01:27

Dodie isn't no and given pains caustic criticism of britain

01:31

Well he probably wouldn't respond by advocating the future benefits

01:35

of a partnership with england Still pain doesn't deny the

01:38

great britain has had some positive influence in the past

01:42

He uses that metaphor about britain nurturing the colonies like

01:45

a baby being nurtured with milk So unless that was

01:48

some very sour mill while he's clearly admitting that a

01:51

relationship with great britain has had at least some purpose

01:55

instead pain is arguing using his common sense uh he's

02:01

admitting that britain has helped the colonies in the past

02:04

but now he wants independence from its tyrannical rule and

02:08

that's come back anyone would be proud of Especially you

02:11

because you're so not as good at comebacks Do these 00:02:15.168 --> [endTime] things really are
