Based on the excerpt from Thomas Paine's Common Sense, the most likely effect these words had on the American colonists is that they strengthened the colonists' desire to act on their wish to separate from Britain.
Thomas Paine's words emphasized the natural right of the colonists to have their own government and highlighted the risks and uncertainties of relying on time and chance. By highlighting the precariousness of human affairs, Paine aimed to convince the colonists that it was wiser and safer to form their own constitution in a deliberate manner. This message likely resonated with the colonists who were already discontented with British rule and sought to establish their own self-governing system.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. They most likely strengthened the colonists' desire to act on their wish to separate from Britain.
