This question refers to the text "Jean Barbot, French Protestant and agent of the chartered Senegal Company (Compagnie du Sénégal), book describing his travels in West Africa, written circa 1682." In this text, Jean Barbot gives us some insight into how trading in West Africa operated during this time period.
A) In the 17th century, Africa was being explored and colonized by various European powers, such as the French, the Portuguese and the Dutch. In these early years of colonialism, these powers fought for dominance in Africa, and borders and areas of control changed frequently.
B) In the text, Barbot shows how the development of the Atlantic in this century was constant. We learn about elaborate constructions that the European colonists established along the Atlantic Coast of Africa. We also learn about the importance of trade in this region and of the competition between different European powers.
C) According to this passage, Jean Barbot was a French Protestant and agent of the chartered Senegal Company. Barbot seems incline to speak well of the Dutch, and negatively of the Portuguese. It is possible that this is a consequence of him sharing Protestantism with them, as opposed to Portuguese Catholics.
Well, there's the obvious like the fact that they were bringing disease.
The correct answer is B) Many workers faced low wages and high rents.
The conditions that explain why there were so many working poor in the Industrial Age is "Many workers faced low wages and high rents."
The Industrial Age changed the life of many people and improved the economy of the country, but it also had some negatives. Poor farmers decided to leave the rural areas of America and moved to the larger cities where the factories were located. These industries were offering many jobs but they were low paid jobs and the working conditions were unhealthy. So these workers and many immigrants that got jobs in the manufacturing plants had to live in small spaces because the rent was high and their salary low. These small spaces had not the proper living conditions, they were short of ventilation and spread disease easily.

He gave the apostles the bread that was his Body and the wine that was his Blood. All Passovers before that the bread and wine were simply that. At the Last Supper, through transubstantiation, he turned the bread and wine into his Body and Blood. Not sure if that’s what you’re looking for...
