Why might the Continental Congress have revised this portion of the draft?
O A. The second paragraph in the draft stated a falsehood that couldn't
be substantiated, so the revision makes the passage more
reliable.
O B. The second paragraph was redundant in the draft, so the revision
cut it completely
O c. The second paragraph in the draft was off-topic, so cutting it in the
revision helped make this passage more linear.
