Explanation:

• Question 7: The Roman slave - collar inscription offering a reward for the return of a runaway slave shows that slaves were property and rewards could be offered for their return. There is no evidence in the given artifacts to compare the treatment of Roman and American slaves.
• Question 8: In the U.S. Constitution passage, "three - fifths of all other Persons" refers to slaves. Indentured servants are included in the count of free persons bound to service for a term of years, and Native Americans not taxed are excluded.
• Question 9: The population count in the U.S. Constitution was used to determine the number of U.S. House Representatives each state receives and for direct taxation. The number of U.S. Senators is fixed at two per state regardless of population, and the passage has no relation to determining free or slave states.

3. C. To decide the number of U.S. House Representatives each state receives; D. For the purpose of direct taxation
