Question

a student wrote this reasoning: thats why franklin says being disciplined is good. which choice best revises this reasoning to clearly connect to the main point? (1 point) this shows franklin believes in self - control. therefore, franklins proverb proves that consistent habits and personal responsibility lead to success, reinforcing the idea that discipline brings both practical and moral rewards. it shows the quote is true because many people are successful. franklin thinks people should sleep more.

Explanation:

To determine the best revision, we analyze each option:

• The first option ("This shows Franklin believes in self - control") is too narrow. It only focuses on self - control and doesn't connect to a broader main point about the effects of discipline.
• The second option ("Therefore, Franklin's proverb proves that consistent habits and personal responsibility lead to success, reinforcing the idea that discipline brings both practical and moral rewards") effectively connects Franklin's view on discipline to the idea of how discipline (through consistent habits and personal responsibility) leads to success, both in practical and moral terms. It clearly links the reasoning to a main point about the benefits of discipline.
• The third option ("It shows the quote is true because many people are successful") is a weak connection. It uses a general statement about people's success without clearly relating it to the concept of discipline from Franklin's view.
• The fourth option ("Franklin thinks people should sleep more") is irrelevant as there is no mention of sleep in the original reasoning about discipline.

Answer:

Therefore, Franklin's proverb proves that consistent habits and personal responsibility lead to success, reinforcing the idea that discipline brings both practical and moral rewards.
