Question

Read the excerpt from Letters of the Late Ignatius Sancho, An African.

Answer 1

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

Ignatius Sancho was the first Black Briton to vote in the British elections in the 18th century. He earned his eligibility to vote based on property qualification (right to vote based on the ownership of property).

In 1766, Sancho wrote the letters to Lawrence Sterne encouraging him to write more about slavery and its abolition. Sterne was an Anglican Clergyman and a novelist. So, Sancho urged Sterne in his letter to use his gift of writing to write about slavery.

So, the correct answer is option B.
