In addition to being one of the Founding Fathers, Benjamin Franklin was also a scientist. One of his most famous endeavors was proving that lightning was electricity, though he never actually conducted hands-on experiments. Read the following fictionalized account and then answer the question after it. Franklin had told his nephew Peter of his curiosities. Lightning had to be electricity, he explained, and not some other substance. The two were too similar in behavior and sound.

Which detail from the text supports the idea that the fiction author altered the historical facts?

A.
Franklin had a nephew named Peter.
B.
Lightning and electricity behave and sound alike.
C.
Franklin was curious about what lightning was made of.
D.
