I can’t decide true/false for that specific passage without seeing it — can you paste the passage you mean?
If you mean the introduction to Thomas Paine’s Common Sense in general, the answer is: True. Paine mixes logical argument with strong appeals to readers’ feelings (pathos). He uses inclusive language (“the cause of America is in a great measure the cause of all mankind”), vivid contrasts (liberty vs. tyranny), moral urgency, and hopeful images (“we have it in our power to begin the world over again”) to stir sympathy, outrage, and optimism as well as reason.
If you paste the exact passage you’re asking about, I’ll mark it true/false and point to the lines and techniques that show whether it appeals to the reader’s feelings.
