Explanation:

Question 2 (assuming it's a typo and same as Q3 structure)

• Option a: The excerpt doesn't discuss how owners treat slaves, so not supported.
• Option b: Eliza uses Bible (Christianity) to advocate for helping others, implying slavery (which goes against helping) is incompatible with Christianity.
• Option c: The excerpt focuses on religious basis for helping, not women ending slavery.

• Option a: Excerpt #2 doesn't address how owners treat slaves.
• Option b: Eliza follows Bible (Christianity) which commands helping others, and slavery would contradict that, so slavery and Christianity are incompatible.
• Option c: The excerpt is about religious duty, not women ending slavery.
• Option d: Incorrect as option b is supported.

Harriet Beecher Stowe believed slavery was evil and incompatible with Christianity, as seen in Eliza’s commitment to follow the Bible’s commands to help others (Excerpt #2) and Uncle Tom’s warning that slavery is a great sin that harms the master’s soul (Excerpt #3).

Answer:

b. Slavery and Christianity were incompatible
