The answer is:

B) It makes readers more comfortable with the idea of reading the essay if they can view it as if it were their own words.

The author tries to convince the reader that this philosiphy can be made their own if the coat fits... searching for the reader to think that he shares this kind of thought and it will be easier for the reader to adopt that way of thinking.

Will the question, "Which credit cards do my friends use?" likely be answered by the selection, "Credit Cards-Credit Where Credi
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer: No the question "Which credit cards do my friends use?" would not be answered by the selection "Credit Cards-Credit Where Credit's Due" because the selection is talking about the credit and where it is due not about the type of credit card your friend has or uses.

Explanation: I think the answer would be no because it is about Credit Cards-Credit not about them advertising their credit cards in themselves. It would have been different if the selection was something around the lines of "Which Credit Card Is Used Most" or "Credit Cards People Use But Which Is Best?"
