Thomas Paine’s Common Sense, which was published in 1776.
Common Sense was written by Thomas Paine and published in 1776.
Common Sense, authored by Thomas Paine, was published in 1776.

Answer 1

Thomas Paine’s Common Sense, which was published in 1776, is the answer because it can’t be said as a full sentence like the other options.

Answer 2

the 2nd one. If you read the others, it creates a full thought. the 2nd one doesn't have a good end to it. the "which" was unnecessary and made it a sentence fragment
