From "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T. S. Eliot Should I, after tea and cakes and ices, Have the strength to force the moment to its crisis? But though I have wept and fasted, wept and prayed, Though I have seen my head (grown slightly bald) brought in upon a platter, I am no prophet — and here’s no great matter... In this passage, the speaker makes reference to the ordeals suffered by John the Baptist in the New Testament of the Bible. In this comparison, the speaker claims that A) he is like John the Baptist in every way. B) he has suffered like John the Baptist, but he is far less important. C) he has suffered more than John the Baptist, and wants this to be acknowledged. D) he hasn't suffered as much as John the Baptist, and hesitates to make such a comparison.

D)He is not important or profound, unlike John the Baptist.

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
