b nervous and fearful
c excitable and irrational
d respected and regretful

Explanation:

1. Olaudah Equiano was an enslaved African who wrote an autobiography detailing the atrocities of slavery, which became a key text in the abolitionist movement. The other options are incorrect: the Emancipation Proclamation was issued by Lincoln (for US slaves), the Haitian revolt was led by Toussaint Louverture, and the sextant was not his invention.
2. In Willa Cather's "A Wagner Matinee," Aunt Georgiana was a music teacher in Boston before moving to the plains, which makes her reaction to the Wagner performance more poignant.
3. In Arthur Miller's The Crucible, John Proctor is a well-respected farmer in Salem who feels deep regret over his affair with Abigail Williams, which drives much of the play's conflict. The other descriptions do not match his core character.

Answer:

1. B. his book describing the horrors of slavery.
2. B. music teacher
3. D. respected and regretful
