Read the following fictionalized account and then answer the question after it. Franklin had told his nephew Peter of his curiosities.

Which detail from the text supports the idea that the fiction author altered the historical facts? A. Franklin had a nephew named Peter. B. Lightning and electricity behave and sound alike. C. Franklin was curious about what lightning was made of. D. Peter never expected his uncle to experiment with a kite and a key.
