In the introductory note above the passage, the author is quoted as saying that his purpose for writing is to “excite…a sense of

compassion for the miseries which the Slave-Trade has entailed on my unfortunate countrymen.” Which detail from the passage presents evidence of this purpose? Group of answer choices As every object was new to me every thing I saw filled me with surprise. . . . and indeed I thought these people were full of nothing but magical arts. We were not many days in the merchant's custody before we were sold. . . . The noise and clamour with which this is attended, and the eagerness visible in the countenances of the buyers, serve not a little to increase the apprehensions of the terrified Africans.

Answer:

The detail that presents evidence of this purpose is:

The noise and clamour with which this is attended, and the eagerness visible in the countenances of the buyers, serve not a little to increase the apprehensions of the terrified Africans.

Explanation:

The author's purpose is to "excite... a sense of compassion." In other words, <u>he wants readers to feel sympathy for those who suffered as a consequence of slavery. One way to instigate compassion and sympathy in others is to unveil to them how painful an experience was. </u>By describing how one suffered, the way one felt while going through something, it is possible to have people empathize. Among the options, the one that refers to the way Africans felt while being traded is the last one:

<em>The noise and clamour with which this is attended, and the eagerness visible in the countenances of the buyers, serve not a little to increase the apprehensions of the terrified Africans.</em>

<u>We can imagine, even feel, their fear. The eagerness of those who were buying them, treating them not as human beings but as goods, only contributed to their terror. By reading this, we can't help but feel compassion for them.</u>

List the 4 steps to writing a successful narrative essay.
kenny6666 [7]
1. Pellucidity

Intricate words and syntax are an obstruction to pellucidity and should be evaded. Conceptions should be limpidly distributed between sentences and paragraphs.

Example: Albeit I have never been to the races afore, I was very exhilarated to behold them, yet withal remotely nervous, because of the type of people who go there.

Amended: I’d never been to a horse race. I was exhilarated to go, but withal a little nervous, since I wasn’t sure about the people at the track.

2. Don’t describe each and every one of your own forms of kineticism

Example: As I went in the door, I turned and visually perceived a TV. I looked around and visually perceived posters on the wall.

As I went further in I descried everyone was optically canvassing M*A*S*H.

Ameliorated: I immediately descried the posters on the wall, though everyone else’s ocular perceivers were fixated on a TV playing M*A*S*H.

3. Evade the second-person narrative

A consequential part of the narrative essay is the fact that the inditer experienced the events described.

Example: As you go in the door, you will turn and visually perceive a TV. You look around and visually perceive posters on the wall.
 
As you go further in you descry everyone is optically canvassing M*A*S*H.
Inditing in the present tense is okay, however.

4. To interest the reader, dynamic word cull is key

Evade sounding too clinical. Utilize the same slang, idiom, and turns of phrase you would utilize in verbalization. Eschew passive constructions.

Example: I am presented an array of unpleasant photos in which many casualties are shown after automobile accidents.

Ameliorated: They showed me a book stuffed with gruesome pictures of people who’d been in car wrecks.

A ______________ generally uses a form of the verb “to be” in a comparison of two unlike things.
lozanna [386]
You mixed up your letters, but the answer is metaphor.

Similes and metaphors compare two unlike things, but similes use "like" or "as" while metaphors don't, and usually only use some form of "to be".
