C) is the answer...............................................
Answer:
The central idea developed and supported by the passage is:
4. The slave trade was very fair and humane toward enslaved captives.
Explanation:
Take a look at the following passages:
- Corporal punishment [...] not until the culprit understands exactly why it is done.
- [...] to ensure security from harm in those nightly battles that occur...
- [...] men, women, girls, and boys are allowed to unite in African melodies.
- [...] the greatest care, compatible with safety, is taken of a negro’s health and cleanliness on the voyage.
<u>The speaker makes it sound as if slavers were doing their best to take care of African slaves. He makes it seem as if the way they were treated was humane and fair. They were not punished until they understood why they were being punished for. They were kept clean, and were allowed to express their culture through melodies. Their safety was taken into consideration since slavers knew there would be fights. In summary, the excerpt makes it sound as if slavers were good people who were doing nothing besides keeping slaves healthy, clean, and safe from their own barbaric behavior.</u>
