Paine's line "Mutual fear is the principal link in the chain of mutual love, and woe be to that state that breaks the compact" contains
1. parallelism
II. a metaphor
III. an aphorism
A. I, II, and III
B. I only
C. I and II
D. Il only
E. I and III

Since Paine’s words are more complex compared to simple phrasing, I don’t think the quote is an aphorism.

I do believe that the quote has a metaphor, since Paine uses the words “link” and “chain” to convey a message of connection/relationship or similarity.

I think that quote also has parallelism because the ending relates to the beginning, and, in a sense, drives home the message of the beginning part.
