Answer: b to convince readers that Britain has treated the colonists unfairly.
Explanation:
This is an excerpt from<em> the Declaration of Independence</em>, a document written by Thomas Jefferson which guarantees the freedom of the thirteen American colonies. The author describes the British methods which he finds unjust. He mentions the attempt of the colonies to be heard, as well as the British refusal to listen to the voice of justice. According to him, Britain treated the colonists unfairly, although Americans are actually their descendants.
In my opinion it could be about;
children collecting and preparing food for a religious event
or followers of a religion being involved in an important or sacrificial event
or people being raised into working on a farm or being forced to work there
The word 'leash' is an indirect object. :)
