Step-by-step explanation:

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. But Peter never suspected the experiment would take the form it did—with his uncle bursting into the house with a kite and key still smoldering from the storm strike.
