Answer:
I felt, moreover, that I had been faithful—that I was guilty of no wrong whatever, and deserved commendation rather than punishment.
Explanation:
Twelve Years a Slave is the memoir of Solomon Northup, a free dark man who was grabbed and sold into subjection. Distributed in 1853, that year in which he was freed, it covers his twelve years in slavery.
Northup describes his life starting in New York, building up his inception and his status as a liberated individual dwelling in the North with his family. He at that point shares the subtleties encompassing his capturing and encounters inside the slave advertise, and the ensuing long stretches of bondage and subjugation he suffers until he steps onto free soil again twelve years after the fact. Through his account of situation, Northup depicts the day by day interactions between him, different slaves, and the different bosses he works under, just as explicit and broad learning of farming practices and southern traditions – revealing more insight into servitude than any course reading can.

Answer:
"You are going near the post office?" Mrs. Reid asked her husband.
"Yes," he said. "Is there anything you want?"
"Could you get me a small registered envelope, please?" Mrs. Reid said, "I've got to send some money to my sister in Guyana."
"Ok," Mr. Reid said. "I'll get a Coulee. It may be useful to have a spare one available."
Explanation:
There are many ways that this paragraph could be punctuated. However, in my interpretation, I used commas to integrate my quotation marks, etc.
For example:
"Ok," Mr. Reid said. "I'll get a Coulee. It may be useful to have a spare one available."
I decided to add a period to the end of "said." However, you could choose to do it differently. For example, you could choose to write it like this:
"Ok," Mr. Reid said, "I'll get a Coulee. It may be useful to have a spare one available."
(Notice how I replaced the period with a comma? That simply means that "Ok and "I'll get a Coulee" is all one sentence versus two sentences. Both versions are grammatically correct. The writer simply needs to choose which one s/he wants.)
