The belief that Sancho expressed to Sterne in the excerpt is that Sterne could use his writing to free many enslaved people, as stated in option B.
<h3>What is a belief?</h3>
A belief is nothing more than a personal opinion we have concerning something or someone. When writing, we can express our beliefs, as Sancho does in the passage below:
- "An African. I am sure you will applaud me for beseeching you to give one half hour's attention to slavery, as it is at this day practised in our West Indies.—That subject, handled in your striking manner, would ease the yoke (perhaps) of many—"
The belief expressed above in that Sterne could use his writing to free many enslaved people. Sancho says Sterne's writing has a "striking manner" that could "ease the yoke," that is, alleviate or reduce the suffering of people.
With the information above in mind, we can select option B as the correct answer.
