B. Thomas Paine’s Common Sense was published in 1776, and the Revolutionary War began that same year.

Explanation:

In sentence construction and framing, the use of the appropriate conjunction is the key to making sure the sentence doesn't sound awkward and unstructured. And in the combination of the two sentences, the best conjunctive word is "and".

Since the two sentences are talking about events that happen in the same time/ year, the joining word will have to indicate the duality of the years. So, by the use of "and" to join the two sentences, the new sentence will have the same sense of what they talk about.

Thus, the final correct sentence will be -

"Thomas Paine’s Common Sense was published in 1776, and the Revolutionary War began that same year."

the antonym of esurient is abstemious.

the correct answer is d. a discussion of specific uses of alliteration

.

when you are critiquing or evaluating a poem, you will mostly pay attention to the theme, as well as figures of speech and rhythm. alliteration is a figure of speech where consonants are repeated in neighboring words - and it is important for analysis of sound and rhythm, which is why it might appear in the evaluation of that poem.
