Thanks

It was just persuade :)

Thanks for the help, but I really don't think that its all of them. Maybe for the Declaration of independance, but not for Thomas Paine's Common Sense. I think I'll go with B and C. I'll come back and put what the answer is when I submit it :)

To determine the purpose for writing of Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Paine, we can examine their respective works. Thomas Jefferson is best known for penning the Declaration of Independence, while Thomas Paine is famous for writing "Common Sense" and "The American Crisis." These documents were influential during the American Revolution and played a crucial role in shaping public opinion.

Both Jefferson and Paine shared a purpose to persuade. By employing persuasive rhetoric and logical arguments, they aimed to convince their readers to support the cause of American independence. Therefore, the correct answer is "to persuade."

All of those.
