You got your essay back in english class and you received a "b" on it. the girl sitting behind you, a friend of yours, also received a "b" and her boyfriend, who is another period class with the same teacher and the same subject, also received a "b." you concluded then that no one that wrote that particular assignment for that particular teacher received an "a." pitfalls in credibility?

The teacher is being biased towards the students.

Explanation:

There could be something specific that the teacher was looking for that no one gave. Or everyone missed a point that would have given them an A on the assignment. I would say until you know exactly why the teacher gave those grades that no, there is not a pitfall in credibility.

read this passage from the crisis. what rationale is paine using for going to war with great britain? my own line of reasoning is to myself as straight and clear as a ray of light. not all the treasures of the world, so far as i believe, could have induced me to support an offensive war, for i think it murder; but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and kills or threatens to kill me, or those that are in it, and to "bind me in all cases whatsoever" to his absolute will, am i to suffer it? what signifies it to me, whether he who does it is a king or a common man; my countryman or not my countryman; whether it be done by an individual villain, or an army of them? if we reason to the root of things we shall find no difference; neither can any just cause be assigned why we should punish in the one case and pardon in the other.

it is waged war against an army of countrymen

it would lead to independence from britain

it would be an offensive war

it would be a defensive war
