Can someone help me with some English questions please? Thanks so much in advance!

1. In "I want to be miss America" the sisters believe their future will involve:

Getting married and having children

Staying home and taking care of their parents

Going to college and starting a career

Living on their own and finding boyfriends

2. In the short story "I want to me miss America" what is it that gratified the author years later but comes too late?

When she is finally able to look like a beauty contestant

When she stops trying to fit into the mold of American beauty

When American women want to look "ethnic" like her

When she quits doubting that she belongs in her new country

Thanks so much!!

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

it would be a defensive war
