Question

Why did the "most respectful characters in Boston" ask to meet with Phillis Wheatley in October 1772?

Answer 1

The correct answer is A.

 Phillis Wheatley got her first name after the name of a slave ship's name. Although she was a slave, she had the opportunity to learn how to read and write,  she also learned foreign languages and the Bible. She was influenced by great poets, but she had the gift and talent to write her own poetry and was admired by many people. However, due to some people's doubts, she had to defend herself and prove she was the author of such works.
