Question

the story of the autobiography of benjamin franklin
1 benjamin franklins autobiography tells the interesting story of his life—but even more interesting might be the story of the autobiography itself, including how it came to be written and the adventures of the original manuscript. the autobiography is franklins longest work. the first part, written as a letter to his son, william franklin, was not intended for publication; the composition is more informal and the narrative more personal than in the second part, which was written from 1730 onward with a view toward publication. the entire manuscript shows little evidence of revision. in fact, the writing style is so homely and natural that his grandson, william temple franklin, changed some of the phrases when editing the work
where would a comparison between temple franklins and bigelows edits to the manuscript fit best?
the second paragraph
the third paragraph
the fourth paragraph
the fifth paragraph

Explanation:

The given text has only one visible paragraph (the first one) about Franklin's Autobiography writing and Temple Franklin's edits. Since the question is about where a comparison of edits (Temple Franklin’s and Bigelow’s) fits, and the first paragraph mentions Temple Franklin’s edits, the next logical place (assuming the original text structure, though only one paragraph is shown here) – but based on the options, likely a follow - up paragraph. However, if we assume the first paragraph is the first, then the second paragraph (the next one) would be where a comparison of two edits (adding Bigelow’s) would fit as it can expand on the editing topic.

Answer:

the second paragraph
