Which statement best expresses the central idea

just took the test;

argument: "it's time to wage a war against britain to secure american freedom."

claims: "america has tried every peaceful method available for seperating from england" & "the americans' petitions to the king have been turned away by him."

the correct answer is dilapidated.

hope this (:

if you don't mind posting the paragraph so i could read it that would a lot. (;
