单选题 From the text we learn that Patrick Henry______.

【正确答案】 C
【答案解析】根据原文Henry had only recently been elected to the Virginia Assembly.Yet when the Stamp Act came up for discussion,he opposed it almost single-handedly 可知“当时亨利刚刚入选弗吉尼亚议会。当《印花税法案》引起人们的讨论时,他几乎是在单打独斗地反对。”由此, A错误,C正确。B项与文章内容无关。根据文章最后的引言部分可知亨利只是为了获得自由才宁可牺牲生命与和平,并不表明他不比别人珍爱生命与和平,因此D错。
