why does franklin repeatedly include phrases from foreign languages (latin, french) in the essay?

because his readers dont understand english
because he wants to confuse his audience
because the phrases are well-known to his readers

Explanation:

• The first option is incorrect because Franklin's audience (likely in the context of his essays) would understand English.
• The second option is illogical as an author wouldn't aim to confuse their audience.
• The third option makes sense: Phrases from Latin and French like "Nil desperandum" or French proverbs were well - known to educated readers of Franklin's time, so including them would resonate with or add authority/color for his audience.

Answer:

C. because the phrases are well - known to his readers (assuming the options are labeled A, B, C with A being "because his readers don't understand English", B being "because he wants to confuse his audience", C being "because the phrases are well - known to his readers")
