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>".

At the end of the fourth paragraph ("And below the surface... scour marks"), the author strategically arranges sentences in a wa
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer: E. Emphasizes the mounting evidence for the complexity of the ocean’s currents

Explanation:

The author begins these sentences with “And below” to claim that beneath the surface currents there are other distinct currents with different speeds, directions, and volumes. By repeating “And below” at the beginning of the next sentence, the author suggests that there are yet other currents beneath these. The author’s arrangement of these sentences therefore suggests that the layers of distinct ocean currents are potentially endless. After making this suggestion, the author then includes the fact that there is photographic evidence supporting the idea that there are currents on the sea bottom, which had once been thought to be still. By arranging the sentences in this manner, the author affirms her claim regarding the unending complexity of the ocean’s current by revealing that there is already proof to support the claim.
