Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:

Credited with uniting average citizens and political leaders behind the idea of independence, “Common Sense” (written by Thomas Paine) played an impactful role in transforming a small group of colonies into the American Revolution. At the time Paine wrote “Common Sense,” most colonists considered themselves to be aggrieved Britons. Upon reading and understanding this document, colonists understood that they must fight for their independence, and they understood that they shall not be governed by England.

Hope this helps! :0

(I believe this is a question with two correct answers, where one is the better one. I believe that A is the better one, but B could also be a choice to consider. No matter A or B, they can both be backed up from this explanation)
