Answer:
b. Briefly describe ONE way in which a historical development represented in the letter reflected a change or a continuity from earlier colonial British North American history.
Explanation:
a. ONE historical development depicted in the letter from Benjamin Franklin to the Count of Vergennes concerned the "rumored" devaluation of the American dollars by Congress.
Congress devalued the American dollars to the 40th of its former value. France, as a creditor to the US, was not comfortable with this development.
b. ONE way the devaluation of the American dollars reflected a change from earlier colonial British North American history is that Britain was no longer in control of the American currency.
The Continental Congress had assumed control of the American currency by its action to devalue the currency.
c. ONE purpose for the letter was to assuage the concerns of the French King Louis XVI and his people over the effect of the currency devaluation.
Thus, the letter was a diplomatic cover-up by Benjamin Franklin to ensure that the King of France and his people did not withdraw their Alliance with the US at that crucial moment.
