Benjamin Franklin was a true hero. He made several important scientific discoveries, including electricity. He also participated
in the drafting of the Declaration of Independence and started a fire- insurance company. For these reasons, he was a fascinating person and an important American. O A. It is strong because it suggests its position rather than stating it directly. B. It is weak because it does not make a claim that Benjamin Franklin was important C. It is weak because its wording is not appropriate for a student audience. OD. It is strong because it provides details to support its claim.
There is at least details for picking Franklin to write about. D is a possible answer.
I don't think A is correct. It states directly that Franklin was a hero. I don't think hero is quite the right word. On the other hand, signing the Declaration did make him heroic; the Declaration was Treason, or the British would have thought so. Still I believe D is the better answer.
B is simply wrong. Heroic and Important are very strong words.
C I don't see that any language is inappropriate for someone that reads well. In fact, the Declaration for example, is something every American should read. It is important to know why someone is an American.
