Explanation:

The "American Dream" often involves achieving success and upward mobility despite humble beginnings. Benjamin Franklin was from a poor family but became wealthy and successful through his own efforts (inventing, business, politics, etc.).

• Option 1: He didn't have a free, excellent formal education in the way described.
• Option 2: Rebelling against his father's wishes isn't the core of the American Dream's rags - to - riches narrative.
• Option 4: Owning more land than his father isn't the defining aspect of how he lived the American Dream.

Answer:

C. He came from a poor family yet achieved wealth and success.
