00:05

jour brought to you by relationships ending one is just

00:08

like adjusting your underwear You feel better when the creeps

00:11

gone Uh yeah we went there Sorry people Okay well

00:18

mistresses apple ogg and suggested husbands for fanny burning were

00:22

skimming Oh we're tired of reading this thing again and

00:26

again But it's great it's awesome writing Yep we love

00:30

00:47

00:50

mistresses apple log and literary text suggested husbands for fanny

00:54

burney All right what's the important difference between and here

00:58

the potential answers letters much speaking All right well the

01:06

key word in this question is the word imports as

01:09

long as we keep that in mind this one degrees

01:13

if asked to find the difference that matters the least

01:16

Well we'd have a tougher time of it because well

01:18

most of these don't matter all that much pick choice

01:20

See for instance please sure Most of franklin's letter is

01:24

organized as a list and most of fanny's pieces in

01:28

dialogue But like who cares Right There has to be

01:32

some deeper contrast we confined between these two passages We're

01:35

looking for big ideas here Big big big people The

01:38

same thing goes for answered It's true that the second

01:41

passage has a bunch of people talking while the first

01:44

speaker flies solo But this kind of thing is the

01:47

gravy and were looking for me Answer is probably the

01:51

least important option so far One there's no date on

01:54

fanny's peace so we can't be sure if it's newer

01:57

than franklin's unless we do some googling but that's kind

02:00

of a no no when taking goc option is the

02:03

correct answer because it's the on ly one that hits

02:06

on anything of substance franklin's letter shows us a man

02:09

speaking to a man's needs while fanny's piece shows a

02:12

woman thinking about a woman's needs he's from mars She's

02:16

from venus Oh when will they ever find common ground

02:20

on a planet with a breathable atmosphere that be kind 00:02:23.15 --> [endTime] of nice Oh no
