Answer: A.  “I ask gentlemen, sir, what means this martial array . . . ?” (paragraph 2)

Explanation:

Patrick Henry gave a powerful speech to the Virginia Convention in March 1775 as they debated on whether to go to war with their British rulers. Patrick argued that it was better to either live in freedom and liberty or to die trying than to live and be shackled.

The opposition to his line of thinking wanted peace for various reasons and he acknowledges these in all the options except option A. In option A he was simply stating that the only purpose the British could have for the massive army they were assembling was to subjugate the Americas.
