1. Why did Ben Franklin not become a minister the way his parents wanted him to?
Options:
A: His parents could only afford to send him to school for two years.
B: He wanted to become a writer.
C: He wanted to be an inventor.
D: He did not believe in God.

Instead, Ben ended up as an apprentice to his half-brother James, who was a printer. Ben loved to read and write poetry, so this job seemed as good as any. At the age of twelve he signed an indenture lasting nine years. While learning the trade from James, Ben worked on his writing, copying the style of essays he read in a copy of a magazine.

When James started a paper in 1721, called the New England Courant, Ben submitted a series of essays to the magazine under the pseudonym Silence Dogood. The essays made fun of Boston society and became very popular.

A: His Parents could only affor to send him to school for two years.

Explanation: Benjamin's parents withdrew him from school after deciding that clergyman's training was too expensive, especially since ministers were often so poorly paid.
