Answer:
B) They were free and allowed to return to Africa
Explanation:
On March 9, 1841, the Supreme Court ruled 7-1 to uphold the lower court's decision in favor of the African. They wrote that:
"There does not seem to us to be any ground for doubt, that these Negroes ought to be deemed free."
However, the court didn't order the government to provide funds for the return of Africans to their homeland. The new President at that time, John Tyler, refused to provide funds for them. The salvage rights for the ships were awarded to U.S Navy Officers who captured it. Due to such circumstance, the Africans had to raise money from scratch. In November 1841, 35 Africans saild from Newyork towards their homeland, aided by funds raised by United Missionary Society, which was a black group.
The word that best describes the tone of the excerpt from "The Fall of the HOuse of Usher" by Edgar Allan Poe is "discovery". The narrator is describing the view at the same time he is talking about his feelings when seeing it. He does not know what these feelings are, what this "sinking, sickening of the heart" means. So, he asks himself "what was it (...) what was it that so unnerved me in the contemplation of the House of Usher?". He concludes that it is mistery, that it is possible that a different arrangement of the objects in the scene and of the details in the picture can modifiy their sorrowful impression.
