in this text, paine use the word “ye” several times in order to  capture  the  attention of the colonists who   haven’t understand the   importance and urgency of his cause. the word “ye” that is the plural of   “thou” is used to call the colonists attention and make the fight for the cause.
Its a. to grab the attention of colonist who may not understand the urgency of his cause.
Paine repeats the word “ye” in order to emphasize the fact that the colonists are the ones responsible for the things he is describing. He wants to call attention to the fact that the responsibility lies with those who oppose independence, and in this way, are opening the door to tyranny. By saying “ye” repeatedly, Paine can highlight the fact that they are accountable for the future of the nation.
the answer is A. grab the attention of colonists who may not understand the urgency of his cause.
