The novel "The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin" was first published in which year?

  1. 1735

  2. 1790

  3. 1782

  4. 1765

The correct answer is: 1765

The novel "The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin" was not published in 1735 as that was before Franklin's death and it was not published during his lifetime. Similarly, it was not published in 1790 as that was after his death. It was also not published in 1782 as that was when Franklin was still working on it, and it was not published until 1791. The correct answer is 1765, as that is the year that the first part of Franklin's autobiography was published in Charles Cist's newspaper, "The Universal Asylum and Columbian Magazine."
