Answer 1

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Thomas Paine played a significant role in the American Revolution. He was an influential writer during the American Revolution and wrote pamphlets and essays that paved the way to the Declaration of Independence.

By writing the 'Crisis' papers, he influenced the soldiers to keep fighting for independence. He wrote total 16 'Crisis' papers and ordered that those papers be read to all. His writings were, then, helpful in boosting the energy of Washington's soldiers.
