Explanation:

First Question:

The Triangular Trade relied on African slaves for labor in the Americas. The passage states "Africa was perhaps the most vital part of the system" due to providing labor (slaves).

The transcript says "nearly one quarter of all slaves who left the African coast died during this voyage". One quarter is 25%.

Slaves were brought to the Americas (not shipped from Americas to Europe). Products like cotton, sugar, tobacco were produced in Americas (using slave labor) and shipped to Europe. So slaves were not shipped from Americas to Europe.

A. Africa
