Incomplete question. Here are the options:

  • He thinks kings get too much money and do harm to the country.
  • He thinks kings have a right to rule the country, but do not do a good job.
  • He thinks kings should be allowed to make important decisions.
  • He thinks kings should be worshipped only by members of their church

Answer:

"He thinks kings get too much money and do harm to the country"

Step-by-step explanation:

From the quote, we could infer that Thomas Paine was disappointed with the fact that a King was given so much financial privilege which could result in the harm of a country.

We note this from his entire statement, which reads,

“In England, a king hath little more to do than to make war and give away places; which in plain terms, is to impoverish the nation and set it together by the ears. A pretty business indeed for a man to be allowed eight hundred thousand sterling a year for, and worshipped into the bargain! Of more worth is one honest man to society and in the sight of God, than all the crowned ruffians that ever lived.”
