Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The claimed answer C is marked as ABRAHAM LINCOLN (misspelled as ABRHAM LINCON). Lincoln had humble beginnings, but he was not a cobbler by trade - he worked as a store clerk, postmaster, and split rails for a living. The factual premise of the question is questionable. If this refers to a president who was a shoemaker/cobbler, none of the listed options fit. However, based on the claimed answer and the humble origins association, the question seems to intend Lincoln despite the inaccurate job description.
