Select the correct text in the passage.
The excerpt is taken from Patrick Henry's famous "Give me liberty or give me death" speech at the Second Virginia Convention in 1775. Which
sentence in the excerpt suggests that Patrick Henry believed the resources available to the colonists were adequate to engage in armed resistance
against Britain?
They tell us, sir, that we are weak, unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the
next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by
irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of
hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature
hath placed in our power. Three millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible
by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the
destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active,
the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but
in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable--and let it come! I
repeat it, sir, let it come.

The sentence in the excerpt that suggests Patrick Henry believed the resources available to the colonists were adequate for armed resistance against Britain is: "Three millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us." This sentence indicates that Patrick Henry believed in the strength and capability of the colonists due to the significant number of people (three million) willing to fight for liberty. He also highlights the advantageous nature of the country they inhabit, suggesting that with the right use of their resources and determination, they can overcome any force sent by the British. Henry's belief in the colonists' strength, unity, and the divine support he mentions in the passage all contribute to his confidence in their ability to engage in armed resistance against Britain. This conviction is crucial as it motivated the colonists to stand up for their rights and ultimately played a role in the American Revolutionary War.
