The correct answer to this open question is the following.
You forgot to include the statements that illustrate the position of independence from Great Britain that Paine favors.
However, although there were no options provided, we can comment on the following general terms.
When Thomas Paine wrote his famous pamphlet "Common Sense," he invited the American colonists to think that being England an Island, it had no sense to think that it could be the ruler of the North American Continent. Secondly, he thought that England was so far away -in another continent- to exactly know what was happening in the colonies and get a realistic approach to the colonies' necessities and demands. And finally, the colonists had to pay many and high taxes to maintain the English crown, but they did not have a voice or representation in the English Parliament.
