The correct answer is C. It shows that Franklin, as a young man, was a wanderer with no purpose or ambition in life.

Explanation

Section 59 of the Biography of Benjamin Franklin of Hawthorne talks about Franklin's youth, highlighting that he had no ambition for life by saying that "he has not told us whether his slumbers were visited by any dreams". In addition, he emphasizes that he had no expectations about his future, so it was unimaginable for him that he would become the important person that he was by saying that "But it would have been a strange dream, indeed, and an incredible one, that should have foretold how great a man he was destined to become, and how much he would be honored in that very city where he was not friendless and unknown". From the above, the correct answer is C. It shows that Franklin as a young man was a vagabond with no purpose or ambition in life.

Read this sentence from the "Influence of Lincoln" and answer the question.

I got this question on Odysseyware and this was the answer I used...Hope this helps!!!

The italicized part of the sentence could be the thesis for "Influence of Lincoln" because it brings Addam's idea together that Lincoln was a remarkable person, with much wisdom, intellect, perception, and most importantly, high morals to be capable of progressing and protecting a nation's democracy. It idealizes the point that Lincoln was no ordinary man, and that no ordinary man has the power to make an impact on society as strong as Lincoln did, if they do not portray the same or similar characteristics. 
It may not be a thesis however, since it is embedded within one of her many stories in the chapter. A thesis should typically be placed towards the beginning of the chapter, to summarize the main points, and this sentence was towards the end of the chapter.

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

few of the actors were people of color.​

Explanation:

The author of the text reveals that the musical "West Side Story" was extremely innovative, which justifies its success and influences all these years.

According to the author "West Side Story", just as "Romeu and Juliet" showed the forbidden love of two young people who were part of two different social groups (white and Latin), the plot unfolded as a modern-day turf war, introducing serious issues like gang violence and ethnic prejudice on Broadway. In addition, fast and efficient choreography and language deliberately incorporated the physicality and vernacular of street life.

However, the musical was not innovative in hiring dark-skinned actors.
