Answer:

The correct answer is B. Abraham Lincoln. Twain quotes John Quincy Adams, Daniel Webster and Benjamin Franklin.

Step-by-step explanation:

All the previous famous men were quoted by Mark Twain on his essay "Last words of great men" with Abraham Lincoln being the exception. Daniel Webster said "I still live" as his final word, while John Quincy Adams chose to say "This is the last of earth." Finally, Benjamin Franklin stated, "None but the brave deserve the fair". Other famous people that were quoted by Twain were Lord Byron, Napoleon Bonaparte (he starts his essay with him), Joan of Arc, Sir Walter Raleigh and Queen Elizabeth among others.
