I think the correct answer would be:
<span>B: The poor, plague-ridden, residential areas of the town were shut off from the rest of the world.</span>
I put C on my test because it seem most logical plus I couldn't find much to help me.
" The soil became extremely dry, and when the strong winds blew, they created tremendous dust storms"
"in some places, the drought and high winds lasted for eight years"
Explanation:
So first of all you need to look at the author and artist. Then you would need to find their attitudes towards slavery. Lastly you would need to find out how both attitudes are different from each other. Unfortunately I cannot give you a complete answer because I have not read the story and I don't know the author or artist. So just follow these steps and you should get farther. Let me know if you need any further help.
