Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
To find the claim of the passage, we analyze each option:
- The first option describes the destruction of Africans for sugar production, which is a detail, not the main claim.
- The second option talks about people's desire for rights, which is related but not the central claim about sugar and slavery's end.
- The third option is a question, not a claim.
- The fourth option, "The global hunger for slave - grown sugar led directly to the end of slavery," matches the passage's main idea that the demand for slave - grown sugar was connected to the end of slavery and the clash between freedom and slavery.

# Answer:
D. "The global hunger for slave - grown sugar led directly to the end of slavery."
