though it is not explicitly stated, what is the central claim of this passage?
a)that slaves, if given the chance, would tell anyone at anytime about the
horrible treatment they received from their masters
b)that slaves, despite being treated terribly, would rather lie about being
treated well so that their masters wouldn't treat them even worse
c)that slaves were fiercely loyal to their masters, and would defend them to
other slaves because they thought they their master really treated them
best
d)none of these choices are an accurate representation of the central claim
of this passage, as the passage does not make an argumentative claim at
any point.
