Why did Benjamin Franklin make a book with a chart for each of the virtues? *
To keep track of how well he was doing
To share the information with the people he knew
Because his friend Pythagoras told him to do it
He preferred thinking in visual terms

To keep track of how well he was doing.

Explanation:

'The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin' is an unfinished autobiographical account of life of Benjamin Franklin.

In Section 9, of his memor, he writes that at this point of his life, he conceived a thought of arriving at 'Moral Perfection'. To attain 'moral perfecrtion' Franklin came up with an idea to make a chart in his book, giving thirteen pages to this task. Thirteen pages for thirteen virtues, givin a weeks time to each virtue.

He made a chart for each virtue to keep a record of how well he is doing in accomplishing his goal to attain 'Moral Perfection.' Everytime he failed, he marked the bx with black color.

Therefore, option A is correct.

b. his ability to use formal language to stress strong feelings

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
