Read the paragraph. Dr. Franklin, with honest shrewdness, not with trickery or with cunning, but with a sincere and penetrating mind, leagerly scrutinized all the measures of the Court. George III. was a gentleman. He was irreproachable in all his domestic relations. He was, in a sense, conscientious; for certainly he was not disposed to do anything which he thought to be wrong. Conscientious men have burned their fellow-Christians lat the stake. It is said that George the Third was a Christian. He certainly was a full believer in the religion of Jesus Christ; land earnestly advocated the support and extension of that religion. God makes great allowance for the frailties of his fallen children. It requires the wisdom of omniscience to decide how much wickedness there may be in the heart, consistently with piety. No man is perfect. Which statement best explains why the author chose to start this paragraph with a statement about Franklin when the paragraph was otherwise about George III? A.
