Question

Read the excerpt below and answer the question.

Answer 1

Answer:

I would say that, according to this excerpt, Whittier was a neutral who was ambivalent about the practice of slavery. The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

I chose C because these lines from the excerpt don't show a strong opinion from Whittier about the situation of the slaves. It sounds like he encourages them to be strong in a difficult situation when saying "Go on, for thpu hast chosen well; / On in the strenght of God!", but, at the same time he seems to think that this situation of slavery is not so bad when he says as "Long as one human heart shall swell / Beneath the tyrant's rod.", and this two postures show ambivalence. He is totally neutral and doesn't express himself in favour or against this political situation, he doesn't take sides.

Answer 2

C)He was neutral who was ambivalent about the practice of slavery.
