Whenever he or any designated Commander deems such action necessary or desirable, to prescribe military areas in such places and of such extent as he or the appropriate Military Commander may determine, from which any or all persons may be excluded, and with respect to which, the right of any person to enter, remain in, or leave shall be subject to whatever restrictions the Secretary of War or the appropriate Military Commander may impose in his discretion. Which words from the excerpt best support the official nature of the document? "authorize" and "impose" "necessary" and "desirable" "appropriate" and "whatever" "right" and "person"

The words from the excerpt that best support the official nature of the document are:

"authorize" and "impose"

Explanation:

This official document is giving certain people permission and power. Notice that, throughout the text, we have several strong words, such as "authorize", "prescribe", "determine", and "impose". Those words help convey the sense of authority of the document and the people involved - those who have written it and those who are addressed by it. The same words, if used in an unofficial, regular document or text, would be considered rude, even arrogant. However, since this context does involve the delegation of power and authority, such words are acceptable and necessary.

today we'd use social media to quickly spread a controversial idea, but in the eighteenth century, the printed pamphlet was highly effective. and thomas paine took full advantage of it. on january 9, 1776, when paine published his pamphlet, "common sense," he wanted to push the american people toward independence from britain. it ultimately ignite the american revolution. thomas paine argued that the monarchy was evil and should be rejected as a form of government. to underscore his point, he cited the bible to argue his case -- in judges 8: 22-23: "the israelites said to gideon, 'rule over us, you and your son and your ' gideon told them, 'i will not rule over you. the lord will rule over you'" (nrsv).
