## Sample Question

**Benjamin Rush on the American Revolution**

> The American war is over, but this is far from being the case with the American Revolution. On the contrary, nothing but the first act of the great drama is closed. It remains yet to establish and perfect our new forms of government; and to prepare the principles, morals, and manners of our citizens, for these forms of government, after they are established and brought to perfection.

Source: Benjamin Rush, revolutionary leader and physician, letter to Richard Price, 1787

Rush most likely addressed this letter to Richard Price, a British reformer and philosopher, in order to accomplish which of the following?

- (A) Appeal to an international intellectual audience sympathetic to republican ideals to gain support for ongoing American political experimentation and reform
- (B) Warn British officials that American revolutionary sentiment remained strong and might inspire further colonial rebellions if Britain attempted reconciliation
- (C) Request financial assistance from European supporters to fund the establishment of American governmental institutions and educational systems
- (D) Justify American military victory by demonstrating to European observers that the war had achieved its complete revolutionary objectives

**Answer: (A)** The correct answer requires synthesizing Price's identity as reformist intellectual (sourcing information) with Rush's emphasis on systematic institutional and civic development (lines 3-5) to infer his purpose of positioning America within transatlantic reform discourse. The inferential leap connects audience selection to rhetorical strategy—choosing a philosophical ally to frame ongoing revolution as rational political experimentation. Distractors are eliminated by: warning Britain contradicts conciliatory tone and focus on internal work (lines 3-5); fundraising lacks any fiscal language or resource appeals; justifying completion contradicts explicit claim of incompleteness (lines 1-3).
