Question

1. part b: which detail from paragraph 2 best supports the answer to part a?

a. \i am glad to know that the story of your eventful life has been written by a kind lady, and that the same is soon to be published.\
b. \i need such words from you far more than you can need them from me, especially where your superior labors and devotion to the cause of the lately enslaved of our land are known as i know them.\
c. \the midnight sky and the silent stars have been the witnesses of your devotion to freedom and of your heroism.\
d. \i know of no one who has willingly encountered more perils and hardships to serve our enslaved people

Explanation:

To solve this, we need to assume what Part A's answer was (likely about Tubman's character, devotion, or heroism). Let's analyze each option:

• Option A: Talks about the story of Tubman's life being written/published. This doesn't relate to her devotion/heroism for freeing enslaved people. Eliminate A.
• Option B: Mentions needing words from Tubman due to her "superior labors and devotion to the cause of the lately enslaved". This supports a Part A answer about her dedication/heroism.
• Option C: The midnight sky/stars witnessing her devotion. While related, it's more about witnesses, not the action of her labor/devotion itself. B is stronger.
• Option D: (Partially shown, but from context) Talks about encountering perils, but B directly links her labors/devotion to the cause of enslaved people, matching a likely Part A about her character/devotion.

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• A: Discusses her life story being published, not her devotion/heroism. Eliminate.
• B: Mentions her "superior labors and devotion to the cause of the lately enslaved", directly supporting a Part A answer about her dedication to freeing enslaved people.
• C: Focuses on witnesses (sky/stars), not her actions. Less direct than B.
• D: (Partially visible) Less clear than B’s direct reference to her labor/devotion.

Answer:

B. "I need such words from you far more than you can need them from me, especially where your superior labors and devotion to the cause of the lately enslaved of our land are known as I know them."
