Read the excerpt from thomas paine’s work common sense.

o ye that love mankind! ye that dare oppose, not only the tyranny, but the tyrant, stand forth! every spot of the old world is overrun with oppression. freedom hath been hunted round the globe. asia, and africa, have long expelled her—europe regards her like a stranger, and england hath given her warning to depart. o! receive the fugitive, and prepare in time an asylum for mankind.

which best describes the tone of this excerpt?

a) emotional and passionate
b) neutral and indifferent
c) logical and matter-of-fact
d) calm and soothing

A) emotional and passionate.

The tone of this excerpt is emotional and passionate, as can be seen from the amount of passionate words (such as "O!" and "stand forth") and emotionally charged statements ("love mankind," "dare oppose the tyrant," "overrun with oppression") that are used in the text. The idea that Paine wants to convey is that it is time for those who want progress and the improvement of society to stand against tyranny and welcome freedom.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
