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

The revision begins with an introductory dependent clause, creating variety in the passage’s sentence structure. It also places the main point—that Wheatley learned to read and write—at the end, giving that idea emphasis. Therefore, both statements are true.
