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
which of the following would be most relevant to add to the second paragraph?
why the purpose of franklins book changed
what le veillards job was
how the manuscript copies were sent abroad
the name of one of franklins english friends

Explanation:

The passage focuses on the story of Franklin's Autobiography, including its writing process and manuscript adventures. The first option, "why the purpose of Franklin's book changed", relates to the shift in the book's purpose (from non - publication to publication - oriented) mentioned in the passage. The other options (about Le Veillard's job, manuscript sending abroad, Franklin's English friends) are not related to the main topics of the passage (the book's writing and manuscript story). So the most relevant addition is about the change in the book's purpose.

Answer:

A. why the purpose of Franklin's book changed
