maybe you would be able to find a job.) (3.) Franklin was stunned.

\bold{ANSWER:}
Option C: 2


\bold{EXPLANATION:}

At paragraph break should be placed after sentence (2).

This is because sentence (2) is a complete response to Franklin's question and introduces a shift in the conversation. It addresses Franklin's request directly and Lisa's dissatisfaction with his lack of empathy. Thus, it is a natural point to start a new paragraph to separate Lisa's response and Franklin's subsequent reaction.
