Answer
A
It adds sentence variety to the passage.
B
It emphasizes the sentence’s second half.
C
Both answers are true.
D
Neither answer is true.

Explanation

Beginning with “Although” creates a dependent introductory clause before the main clause, giving the passage a different sentence structure and adding variety. The contrast also draws attention to the main point—that Wheatley learned to read and write despite how rare that was—so both statements are true.
