Which sentence in this excerpt from common sense by thomas paine indicates that great britain protected the american colonies for mutual gain?
but she [britain] has protected us, say some. that she hath engrossed us is true, and defended the continent at our expense as well as her own is admitted, and she would have defended turkey from the same motive, viz., the sake of trade and dominion.
alas! we have been long led away by ancient prejudices and made large sacrifices to superstition. we have boasted the protection of great britain, without considering, that her motive was interest not attachment; that she did not protect us from our enemies on our account, but from her enemies on her own account, from those who had no quarrel with us on any other account, and who will always be our enemies on the same account. let britain wave her pretensions to the continent, or the continent throw off the dependence, and we should be at peace with france and spain were they at war with britain. the miseries of hanover last war, ought to warn us against connections.

At first i was afraid to approach him—then the fear left me. he was sitting looking out over the city—he was dressed in the clothes of the gods. his age was neither young nor old—i could not tell his age. but there was wisdom in his face and great sadness. you could see that he would have not run away. he had sat at his window, watching his city die—then he himself had died. but it is better to lose one's life than one's spirit—and you could see from the face that his spirit had not been lost. i knew, that, if i touched him, he would fall into dust—and yet, there was something unconquered in the face. how does the conflict at the beginning of the paragraph move the plot forward? the narrator realizes that he is scared of the gods. the narrator realizes that he distrusts the spirits the narrator realizes that the god was a man. the narrator realizes that he is powerful like the gods.
