One reason that Thomas Paine brings up the opposing argument that the colonies have done well under British control is option D) To create an opportunity to disprove the argument. In Common Sense (pamphlet), Paine advocates for independence from Britain addressing this words to the common people of the Colonies. By saying that the Colonies have done well he creates the opportunity to say that to believe they will still do well is misleading.
