Benjamin Banneker was an African American citizen. His mother was a former slave, however his father was a slave. This made Banneker's life difficult, fraught with prejudice and with few opportunities for study, economic development and quality of life. However, he was a very self-taught man and through books he borrowed he became a great intellectual, with an admirable talent for calculations and a gigantic knowledge for astronomy managing to predict a lunar eclipse, something was very difficult to predict at the time. In addition, he was a great connoisseur of literature and history.

Paul Cuffe was also an African American citizen, who had a life full of situations of racism and prejudice. He was also a very studious, talented and self-taught person and through much research he managed to become a great intellectual. Unlike Banneker, Cuffe had a great talent for finance, which allowed him to become a great businessman, becoming an influential abolitionist.

Explain why the author might have chosen to write the last sentence: <br><br>Make an inference.
morpeh [17]

Answer:

I haven't read it so I can only guess based on what you've shown us. It sounds as though earlier on in the story, Annemarie wanted to be involved in some sort of potentially dangerous activity. Later on, I assume she witnessed someone else get hurt or realized the true danger of the activity and realized she's actually glad she isn't involved in a harmful way. The inference I can make is that her opinion on the dangerous activity, whatever it may be, has changed due to someone or something else's suffering.

This might not even be correct since I don't know what the reading is from, but I hope this at least helps you make your own inference of whatever the reading was.
