Throughout the poem, Phillis Wheatley used the themes of religion and identity to develop the poem that being African or black does not imply that the person was a devil and not worthy of salvation.  She clamored for racial equality in America.

  • She clarified that skin color does not define who a person is.  In the poem, <em>"On Being Brought from Africa to America," </em>Wheatley established that there must be liberty and racial equality for all, including African Americans.

  • She expressed the hope that since God had had mercy on humankind (the white race, in particular), the Whites should be merciful enough to accept Blacks and allow them to gain salvation in Christ Jesus too.

  • She was particularly happy that her enslavement and <em>being brought to America</em> has opened the way of salvation in Christ Jesus for her.  This experience should not be obscured through unnecessary racism.

Thus, Phillis Wheatley produced a complex account in this poem by using the themes of her Christian religion and African identity to profusely interact with and build on one another.

Which detail from the text best supports the idea that the invention of the chronometer had a significant effect on British and
Alexandra [31]

D) “The chronometer for the first time allowed absolutely accurate charting of the oceans, with all that implied for establishing safe and rapid shipping routes.”

In this detail the chronometer supports the idea that the invention of the chronometer had a significant effect on British and world culture. It describes how it allowed for accurate charting which led to shipping routes becoming safer and faster. This allowed for better travel and trade among Britain and other countries.

Option A says that the countries were transformed, but it is not clear in the passage that the chronometer affected this. Option B simply describes the sun "moving". Option C describes what the chronometer is made of. None of these support the idea that the chronometer had an effect on British and world culture.
