Read the excerpt from Letters of the Late Ignatius Sancho, An African. ’Tis at the service of the afflicted,—and a much greater

matter: for, in serious truth, it casts a sad shade upon the world, that so great a part of it are, and have been so long, bound in chains of darkness, and in chains of misery. What is Sterne’s purpose in this excerpt? to describe slavery as just one of many different types of injustices in the world to explain that slavery is deeply rooted in society and impossible to fight to show that slavery is a terrible practice that has brought misery to too many people to argue that sooner or later people will do the right thing and abolish slavery

The correct answer is C.

Through this excerpt, the author wants to show how slavery has affected negatively a great part of the world's population. He says that it has "cast a sad shade upon the world" and that it bounds people through "chains of darkness" and "chains of misery".

Answer:

C. Ontological

Explanation:

Metaphysics itself is a branch of philosophy that advocates beyond physical or abstract concepts and ontology is a sub-branch of metaphysics dealing with the nature of being or existence. It focuses on the concepts related to human existence and their relations. It questions the objective reality and attempts to find the meanings of being. for example, Plato and Aristotle both proposed their ontological theories, the former gave the distinction between the true reality and illusion while the latter provided the existence of ten different kinds of beings.

 What specific information do you find when looking up a word in a basic dictionary?
ruslelena [56]

<span>When you look up a word in a basic dictionary, there is quite a bit of information you’ll find.  Of course, you’ll find the definition of the word.  If the word, however, has more than one meaning, all meanings will be presented in the entry.  The word will be spaced out into syllables.  You’ll see the phonetic pronunciation of the word.  For instance, if you look up the word, “happy,” you’ll see “hap-ee.”  In addition, some dictionaries will also present a word’s language origin (such as Latin or French) as well as the part of speech such as whether the word is a noun, verb, adjective, etc. </span>
