While the main idea is usually in the first sentence, the next most common placement is in the last sentence of a paragraph.

Answer:
B). I envied them the freedom they enjoyed and as often wished I could change my condition for theirs.
Explanation:
In 'The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano,' the author primarily aims to oscillate public opinion regarding slavery and he accomplishes it employing emotional appeal to persuade the audience. In the sentence 'I envied the freedom they enjoyed...theirs,' the use of descriptive language exemplifies that the author aims to convince the audience emotionally by evoking their emotions that slaves were in such a good condition that he himself was jealous of them and desired to be like them. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.
