A. Before Abraham Lincoln was elected President, he did……

Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.   The image most people have of President Abraham Lincoln is of a tall, thin, bearded man. Before he was elected President, however, Lincoln did not wear a beard. He grew his beard as the result of a letter he received from an eleven-year-old girl!   In 1860, a clean-shaven Lincoln was running for the presidency. Grace Bedell of Westfield, New York, admired Lincoln very much, but she didn’t like the way he looked. Afraid that he might not win the election, Grace wrote him a letter stating that if Lincoln grew a beard, “You would look a great deal better for your face is so thin.”   Lincoln wrote back to Grace, saying that if he started growing whiskers now, people might think it was a silly affectation done on purpose. The beardless Lincoln won the election—and he began to grow a beard shortly afterward! The next year, Lincoln visited Grace Bedell’s hometown and told the citizens that he had grown a beard because of a girl from the town. He asked to see Grace, and, to everyone’s delight, he gave the surprised girl a kiss!   Questions: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage

B.Before Abraham Lincoln was elected President, he did not look well.
