Question

Read the excerpt from Thoughts and Sentiments. It is therefore manifest, that something else ought yet to be done; and what is required, is evidently the incumbent duty of all men of enlightened understanding, and of every man that has any claim or affinity to the name of Christian, that the base treatment which the African Slaves undergo, ought to be abolished. Read the excerpt from Letters of the Late Ignatius Sancho, An African. That subject, handled in your striking manner, would ease the yoke (perhaps) of many—but if only of one—Gracious God!—what a feast to a benevolent heart!—and, sure I am, you are an epicurean in acts of charity.—You, who are universally read, and as universally admired—you could not fail In these excerpts, how does Cugoano’s approach differ from Sancho’s approach?
A. Cugoano calls for people to take small steps to end slavery, while Sancho asks for bold moves.
B. Cugoano appeals to his audience personally, while Sancho appeals to the greater public.
C. Cugoano is more willing to wait than Sancho, who is calling for immediate action.
D. Cugoano has a much more authoritative tone than Sancho, who is respectful to Sterne

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Cugoano has a much more authoritative tone than Sancho, who is respectful to Sterne.

Explanation:

In these lines, we learn that both authors are asking for a similar thing. Both Cugoano and Sancho are arguing that the black slaves need to be treated differently, and better. They both refer to the end of slavery. However, Cugoano employs a much more authoritative tone, as he wants to convey the idea that slavery is morally wrong. On the other hand, Sancho is more respectful to the audience, and his measures are presented as requests, rather than commandments.
