On this day in 1776, members of Congress affix their signatures to an enlarged copy of the Declaration of Independence.

Fifty-six congressional delegates in total signed the document, including some who were not present at the vote approving the declaration. The delegates signed by state from North to South, beginning with Josiah Bartlett of New Hampshire and ending with George Walton of Georgia. John Dickinson of Pennsylvania and James Duane, Robert Livingston and John Jay of New York refused to sign. Carter Braxton of Virginia; Robert Morris of Pennsylvania; George Reed of Delaware; and Edward Rutledge of South Carolina opposed the document but signed in order to give the impression of a unanimous Congress. Five delegates were absent: Generals George Washington, John Sullivan, James Clinton and Christopher Gadsden and Virginia Governor Patrick Henry

NikAS [45]

Answer:

I think it's C

Explanation:

Economic choice... It WOULD be that if you were talking about money.

Opportunity Cost... the loss of potential gain from other alternatives when one alternative is chosen. So it can not be that.

Scarcity... This one means that there is too little of something. So I used context clues to find that out.

Specialization... Oh, who cares anymore I answered the question!

Hope I helped! ☺
