Answer:

The correct answer is B: 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Benjamin Franklin set about 13 virtues that he wanted to attain in order to reach what he called 'Moral Perfection'

At the tender age of just 20, these seemed like big goals. The 13 virtues included, in no particular order;

1. Temperance

2. Silence

3. Order

4. Industry

5. Resolution

6. Frugality

7. Moderation

8. Justice

9. Sincerity

10. Humility

11. Cleanliness

12. Chastity

13. Tranquility

It is interesting to note that Benjamin Franklin was never able to attain 'moral perfection' He was fond of alcohol and women and these were some habits, he could not let go off.
