Which of the following would be considered a seminal work?
a) a short story by edgar allen poe
b) the declaration of independence
c) a biography about walt disney

B) The Declaration of Independence

Explanation:

A seminal work  (also seminal paper, pivotal study) is a paper which changes our understanding of a particular topic. It presents an idea of great importance in a particular field or discipline.

In this case, the work that would be considered seminal is The Declaration of Independence (1776) written by Thomas Jefferson, as it states the principles on which the American government is based. The Declaration is actually a formal statement which pronounces the freedom of the thirteen American colonies from Great Britain. A short story by Poe and Disney's biography would not be considered seminal works, as these works do not introduce a new idea of crucial importance.

often a noun phrase is just a noun or a pronoun:

people like to have money.

i am tired.

it is getting late.

- "these rights are natural and god-given to all men equally." (i disagree cuz i kind of think it's 'a' but who knows.)
