Answer:

State of being forgotten.

Explanation:

The given passage is from "The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, or Gustavus Vassa, the African" by Olaudah Equiano. In this memoir, he narrates his life during slavery and the racism he experienced.

The word "Oblivion" means the state of being forgotten or left unknown completely, without any trace of it being thought about. So, when Equiano wrote the given passage, he implied that writing or reading of memoirs is a hard task, especially for a person who is colored. And even though he may be black, his life is "<em>a particular favorite of Heaven</em>" for his sufferings were less compared to that of his fellow people. Also, the condition of the salves in America and that of the African nations where they are treated better than the slaves were treated in America. So, in writing his memoir, even though it won't contain any <em>"striking events"</em>, he believes that people will read what they find exciting and then ignore others to the level of "<em>contempt and oblivion</em>".

2. The correct answer is D. direct object. The best way to figure out what the direct object in a sentence is is to ask the question What? or Whom? What/Whom did they elect? - (The 43rd) president.
3. The correct answer is predicate or verb phrase (I can't see the options for this question) - predicate is the verb in a sentence.
4. The correct answer is prepositional phrase. A prepositional phrase follows a preposition - here, the preposition is the word IN.
5. The verb phrase is would have given, and the word him is used as an indirect object of the sentence.</span>
