The answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

It should be B. Remember the Milk and Meat analogy. He says that just because a baby grows by drinking milk does not mean that we should drink it and eat nothing more and drink nothing more our entire lives. What the translation to this is, just because Britain helped us start out, doesn’t mean that we have to rely on a higher power for our country to survive.Hope this helps :)
