Question

4 though peggy returned to slavery, sir carleton went out of his way to help many enslaved people. what evidence from the text supports this? a sir carleton used his power to grant freedom to all of the enslaved people in the american colonies. b sir carleton paid many plantation owners for enslaved people and then granted them freedom. c sir carleton went against the treaty of paris and kept his promise to free many self - emancipated black people. d sir carleton was the captain of the ship that helped transport self - emancipated people away from america.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: "all of the enslaved people in the American colonies" is an overstatement. The text likely doesn't support such a broad claim, so A is incorrect.
• Option B: Paying plantation owners for enslaved people and then freeing them is a specific action that shows he went out of his way to help enslaved people, which aligns with the statement in the question.
• Option C: Going against the Treaty of Paris is not necessarily a positive or supportive action for enslaved people in the context of helping them, and the description is less direct about helping enslaved people compared to B.
• Option D: Being a ship's captain transporting self - emancipated people doesn't directly show he helped enslaved people (as self - emancipated people are already free in a sense), and it's not as clear a way of helping as paying for and freeing enslaved people.

Answer:

B. Sir Carleton paid many plantation owners for enslaved people and then granted them freedom.
