a. to withdraw their grievances if given representation
b. to support the declaration with their lives
c. to destroy the document once they get what they want
d. to fight the british until the king resigns
The closing lines of the Declaration of Independence state that the signers mutually pledge to each other their "Lives, Fortunes, and sacred Honor" to support the document and the cause of independence. Option A is incorrect because the signers were not offering to withdraw grievances for representation; they were declaring independence. Option C is false as there was no intent to destroy the document. Option D is incorrect because the promise was not focused solely on fighting until the king resigned, but on fully committing to the declaration itself.
