Answer:

He characterized the American Negro Slave as unique of all the black slaves of the world because his identity was impossible to trace unlike the other slaves like the Haitians who could trace their origin to some African kings.

Explanation:

James Baldwin in Paragraph 17 of his essay, 'Stranger in the Village', mentioned that the American Negro Slave was unique of all the black slaves in the world because while the other Slaves could still trace their identities down to somewhere, the American Negro Slave could only trace his identity to the bill of sale which was the entrance paper of his forebears into the American society.

Some Haitians could trace their origin to some African kings but that was quite difficult for an American Negro slave to do. Thus, came his search for his identity within the American society.

How far is grand prarie Texas

That's going to depend heavily on where you're coming from.  Grand Prairie is a western suburb of Dallas.  If you live in Arlington, then it's a quick jaunt of a few miles.  But if you're starting out from, let's say, Seattle, then you're looking at a good 2,000 miles, and you have to plan on 3 or 4 days on the road.

Scdoris has been born with _______medical condition that limits her vision.
Nataliya [291]

You need a slight stop there to collect your thoughts, especially when the next word is achromatopsia. That makes D wrong.

If you use B, " A medical condition that limits her vision" is not a sentence. So B shouldn't be the answer. Fragments are used by very good writers usually in fiction, and this statement is not part of something that is fictional.

A semicolon separates two equal clauses. You can think of it as meaning "and" or even "but" sometimes. You have the same problem with C as you do with B. So C is not correct.

That leaves us with A. That should be your answer.You need a pause of some kind and that pause is proved by the comma. The sentence is not a run on sentence just one in need of a pause in the middle.
