Okay Shmoop er's four of eleven in the trumbull siri's

00:05

here Question Which choice provides the most specific description of

00:08

trouble painting Most pathetic going with him And we underlining

00:11

right there A siri's to document the beginning of the

00:14

country Let's go back the paragraph there and we're going

00:18

to cruise down here So you got a cleaning cart

00:20

version and you know a lot about blocking the american

00:22

continent A great part of a series to document the

00:23

beginning of the country already working with accuracy for aesthetic

00:26

into picking his little scenes So he's not all that

00:28

accurate That's Interesting So we gotta probably change something it's

00:31

going to be not just about documenting the beginning of

00:35

the country It's more something else It's Revolutionary era That

00:39

should probably be a hint that probably through the d

00:42

office that here so it's either b or c So

00:44

let's think here from the first paragraph we know that

00:46

the revolution being referred to is the american variety Yes

00:50

it's not the russian one There was no saar no

00:52

screaming of the devil or the rolling stones singing about

00:55

when it comes to revolutions who's doing the revolting is

00:59

important and no they're not revolting that guy's revolting but

01:03

they're not So american is just as important as revolution

01:07

They have to stand on equal footing like they're socialists

01:09

away Bad example revolution is a popular thing For a

01:12

while Everybody was doing it Yeah can you hear the

01:15

people sing Yeah it was a big one in france

01:17

they had better songs than we did well We can

01:19

infer from the rest of the essay that the country

01:21

a is the u s but it's better to give

01:24

the detail outright Specifying the time period is slightly more

01:28

informative but still too vague because it doesn't really clarify

01:31

exactly which country we're talking about It's Better to include

01:34

the word revolution since there were other revolutions in the

01:38

eighteenth century i'm really a cool theatrical one so we're

01:42

not there Okay so the answer is c a serious 00:01:44.291 --> [endTime] to document the american revolution
