Question

Read the excerpt from "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death" by Patrick Henry.

There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free—if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending—if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained—we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us!

Based on the excerpt, what does the author want the reader to believe?

It is time to abandon the cause.
The only solution left is to fight.
There is still hope for peace.
Only praying will help now

Step-by-step explanation:

Well D is spoken of that way. We are to pray to the God of the Universe, but it is not the only thing we can do. I don't think I'd pick D but it is not wrong. He has a stronger point to be made.

He is saying that [we will never] abandon the cause until we have obtained our objective. Not A

The first sentence says there is no longer any room for hope. Not C

That leaves B which is the answer.
