Answer:
Both passages use evidence to show that knowledge of the extreme brutality of the sugar trade changed viewpoints about enslavement.
Explanation:
The author's main idea is the fact that sugar, even though it had caused all the atrocities it had caused, changed people's impressions of slavery.
All this was due to the fact that with the Age of Sugar, slavery became brutal as ever. And people were noticing it. Lemerre Younger was the first one to protest, declaring <em>equal rights for all</em>. And it -
<em>began to spread — toppling kings, overturning governments, transforming the entire world</em>.
In the second passage, the authors show how Clarkson and the abolitionists fought their fights. It was all about making things <em>public</em><em>, </em>educating the blind. By helping people understand and see the reality of the slave trade, they started a revolution in people's opinion. One was no longer indifferent after <em>Clarkson's speeches and the testimonials he published</em>. The people rose against the torture.

Okonkwo is gone from the village for seven years. When he returns, he expects that he can pick up where he left off. However, he finds that a lot has changed.
One major change is that the church has increased in power. As a result, the connections among the villagers themselves have weakened. Another major change is that the missionaries have implemented their own laws and government. As a result, their own customs are being left behind.
Okonkwo is shocked to find the power the missionaries have gained while he was gone. He is even more shocked that the villagers have allowed these changes to happen.
Answer:
A. Captain Beatty repeatedly taunts Montag and pushes Montag to kill him.
C. Captain Beatty had found the listening device in Montag’s ear and was going to track it back to Faber. Killing Captain Beatty was the only way that Montag would protect Faber.
Explanation:
The answer wouldn't be "B," because Faber and Montag don't actually plan on killing Captain Beatty. The answer also wouldn't be "D," because Montag does somewhat hate Captain Beatty's cruelty, but he hasn't been looking for an opportunity to kill him.
The answer would be "A," since Captain Beatty does tell Montag to kill him. The answer would also be "C," since Montag was afraid Captain Beatty was going to kill Faber when he found out where he was living, since he was helping Montag in collecting books.
The correct option is D. Memmott explains that the tragedy is not well known today and then shows why it is worth remembering.
Dominican Republic and Haiti are neighbor countries. Many Haitians seek for refuge in their neighbor nation until today, because the Dominican Republic has been increasing its economy over the years, giving more opportunities for a better life than in Haiti.
Unfortunately, through cruelty, Trujillo's government executed many Haitian people only because they were from a different nationality, creating an environment of hate for those people.
The need of remembering this tragedy is for all the Haitians that were killed during that time and for the ones who, even though were born in the Dominican Republic, still cannot have their civil rights such as education, health care and legal documentation only because their mother or father are from Haiti.
Border of lights is a movement to remember and grief all those people and also collaborate to bring more justice into this country.
