Explanation:

For the question "What does the phrase 'in high demand' mean?":

To determine the meaning, we analyze the context. The text says "Slavery was not in high demand in Europe. But it was in the Americas." This implies a contrast. In the Americas, settlers wanted slaves (high demand), while in Europe, they didn't want slaves as much (not in high demand). So "in high demand" means there is a great desire or need for something.

From the text, we can see that in the Caribbean Islands, the Spanish had large sugar plantations; English settlers raised tobacco; and settlers in the southern English colonies had large cotton plantations. So we can pick one of these crops.

Answer:

There is a great desire or need for something.
