<span>The central claim of Benjamin Banneker’s letter to Thomas Jefferson is statement (c): It is hypocritical to state that „all men are created equal“ in a country that permits slavery. Even though in the first ten amendments of United State Constitution (Bill of Right,1791) is stated that all men have personal freedom and rights, many African-Americans were still slaves, which angered free African-American Benjamin Banneker to write a public letter to Thomas Jefferson.</span>

The central claim of Benjamin Banneker's letter to Thomas Jefferson is option <em>c. It is hypocritical to state that "all men are equal" in a country that permits slavery.</em>

The Bill of Rights was adopted in 1791, but the rights it granted were withheld from Africans who lived as slaves. That same year, in August, Banneker challenges Jefferson with this letter. He points out that it is a contradiction between the rights granted in the Bill of Rights and the continuation of slavery. And it is also a contradiction to state that all men are equal in the eyes of God, and deny liberty to the slaves.

How can you love Chinese food and not know that you love it? The misplaced  modifier is <em>and does not know it</em>.

What the person does not know, I would guess, is that there is a new restaurant located on the corner of Oak and Burberry that specializes in Chinese food.

There is a new restaurant on the corner of Oak and Burberry specializing in Chinese Food. If you didn't know about the Blue Lantern, check it out. Your taste buds will delight in your new discovery.

I can't think of a way of doing this without splitting this into 3 sentences and providing a name so I'm not repeating myself. If your teacher finds this unacceptable please put it in a comment and I'll see what I can do.
