The statement "There were few tobacco merchants in America in 1770, but in 2014 tobacco was farmed in all of the 50 states" is the only choice that does not represent a difference in the competitive environment faced by Thomas Pine I and Thomas Pine VI. The fact that tobacco was farmed in all 50 states in 2014 does not necessarily make the competition faced by Thomas Pine VI different from that faced by Thomas Pine I.
