Question

1. Draw Conclusions Franklin addresses his remarks to Mr. President"
George Washington, who led the proceedings. How can you tell that his remarks do not concern Washington alone?

Answer 1

Answer:

He uses many plural terms associated with the pronoun "you".

Explanation:

When Franklin uses the pronoun "you" when addressing George Washinton, but uses plural words associated with that pronoun, it means that he is referring to more people than Washington.

This is because the pronoun must accompany the number that the nouns, to which they are related, are representing. Thus, if the pronoun "you" is related to a plural noun, it means the pronoun "you" is related to more than one person.

For example:

• "You are the hero of your nations"
• "You are the heroes of your nation"
