From your reading, develop the topic of your historical investigation to address the ways that Benjamin Franklin’s concepts of industry and frugality shaped the early American identity. Begin thinking about the viewpoint your written report will take. Once you have a general idea, develop a thesis statement for your historical investigative report. Make sure the thesis is relevant to the assignment. Focus your thesis statement on industry and frugality as an ideology in the development of the American identity in the eighteenth century.

the sentence that best describes the tone of the passage from the radio broadcast compared to the passage from the book is b. the radio broadcast has a more surprised tone.

consider the text evidence: in the passage from the book, the description is more matter-of-fact. it is simply describing the things resembling little grey snakes, but there is no urgency in the description. on the other hand, in the passage from the radio broadcast, there is definetely urgency (you can tell from the expression used, "good heavens", which clearly indicates surprise.)
