Explanation:

This is the excerpt that most resembles a biography. A biography is a book that tells the story of someone's life. However, this is not written by the person herself, but by someone else who is interested in telling the story. In this excerpt, the biography appears to be that of Susan B. Anthony. Moreover, the paragraph is written in  the third person, which shows that someone else is telling the story of Anthony's life.

explanation:

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
