The purpose of making the second paragraph a single sentence is one of timing. It sets a quick pace with no interruptions. This is intended to mirror the actual experience of walking into the warehouse and looking at the slaves being sold. In this way, the author wants you to imagine the situation the way he is describing it.

The author uses the lists "husbands, wives..." and "sold, leased..." for a couple different purposes. One is similar to the previous one: to create a certain pace. The author provides several quick and short options in a row, which mimics the quickness, confusion and overload of sights when walking into the warehouse. Although the behaviour of the seller is calm, the mind of the viewer is going quickly as it considers the implications of the scene. The second one is to highlight the reality of the slaves. By giving you all the options, he shows that no matter what your condition was, you were sold in the same way and with no concern for your individuality. Finally, the author also gives us these lists of characteristics as factual information that describes the condition of the slaves.

Talk about how students can learn<br>more effectively through excursions.<br>​
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

An educational excursion is a study trip or research trip, in which students leave the school building to develop educational and learning activities in a different environment, usually related to the subject on which the excursion has reason. Thus, for example, an excursion to a museum can be part of the curriculum of the history subject, where the teacher transfers his students to a different environment so that they can make direct contact with the topic to be addressed in class.

Excursions, in general, are excellent educational experiences, as they are efficient ways of establishing knowledge since the student relates the subject studied with the lived experience, which facilitates their understanding of the topic and their fixation of knowledge.
