Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World. Slave labor was valuable because it produced cheap sugar that everyone wanted to

buy. But if people stopped buying that sugar, the whole slave system would collapse. In the years leading up to the American Revolution, the women of New England refused to buy English products and English tea. The loss of income made London rescind some of the taxes it had imposed on America. Now this same tactic—boycotting—was used to fight slavery. Some 400,000 English people stopped buying the sugar that slaves grew and harvested. Instead, they bought loaves of sugar that carried a label that said, "Produced by the labor of FREEMEN"—the sugar came from India. When the English looked at the sugar they used every day, Clarkson and the other abolitionists made them see the blood of the slaves who had created it. The very fact that slave-made sugar was so popular made it harder for the English to ignore the reality of slavery. Sugar was a bridge—like the sneakers and T-shirts and rugs that, today, we know are made by sweatshop labor. If you wanted the product, abolitionists forced you to think about how it was made. Slavery—a practice as ancient as human civilization—was becoming unacceptable, a form of inhumanity people could no longer tolerate. Which sentence best states the authors' claim in this passage? Sugar was so cheap that it made economic sense for people in England to buy loaves of it. It was wiser for English people to buy sugar from India instead of the Caribbean. Slavery was so widespread that it would have been foolish for the English to oppose it. Boycotting was an effective and persuasive tool in the fight against slavery.

ENGLISH HELP!!! 2 questions will mark brainliest

Question 1:

When I was younger, about six years old, I would play hide-and-seek in the forest near my house with my three siblings. It was becoming dark, and I was hidden under a fallen log. I was always the best at hiding and they always found me last, but on that night, I was wishing that wasn't the case. At some point, the light was almost completely gone, with only the light from the moon helping me see. I started to panic, but didn't want to give myself away and lose, so I stayed there, waiting. I started to hear russling in the bushes around me, and gave up on hiding. I crawled out and started climbing a tree as a new hiding spot that was away from whatever had been in the bushes. I looked down and saw wild animals slowly moving back and forth along the ground at the base of the tree and stifled a scream. I stayed there, un-moving, for half an hour before I heard something walking towards me. I was shaking, trying to stay silent while the creature stomped around my tree. I could picture a cougar or a mountain lion ready to pounce, stalking me. Suddenly I saw something stumble into the small clearing near me and screamed, nearly falling to the ground. My older brother grabbed me and laughed, "I guess I found you then." he said with a laugh. I grinned, trying to stop myself from shaking. I was okay, it was just my brother. From then on, I refused to play when the sun started to set.

Question 2:

I used imagery to show what I saw, and not what was truly there. I wrote as though it was a description of what was there, instead of just stating obvious things. For example, instead of saying the baby trees and shrubs swaying in the wind, I called them wild animals, becasue that is what I saw them as in the dark.
