Answer: c. The Tory tavern keeper who makes a thoughtless statement in front of a child.

Explanation:

Thomas Paine wrote The Crisis during the American Civil War in order to inspire the colonists in their struggle against the British.

In this selection, Thomas Paine uses the anecdote of a Tory tavern keeper who said that he would rather have peace whilst he is alive as opposed to fighting the British.

Thomas Paine thought this statement thoughtless because he believed that a parent such as the tavern keeper, should hope for problems to happen in his time rather than in the time of his children.
