The answer would be letter D. <em>The hideous and revolting conduct of the past and present</em>
Letter A makes no sense with the text.
C, although a somewhat possible conclusion, is not the message the author attempts to transmit.
B, although maybe the main argument to sustain the author's point, it's still not the main idea he aims to pass.
The author intent is to show what the Fourth of July looks like from the slaves' point-of-view. For that, he reminds people of the disparity between them (free white people) and slaves, of how the feelings of liberty and justice do not encompass all. And because of it, this day may be a celebration occasion to them, but to slaves, it's a 'mourning' occasion, with nothing to rejoice or be proud of. Finally, he concludes by stating "<em>Whether we turn to the declarations of the past, or to the professions of the present, the conduct of the nation seems equally hideous and revolting.</em>" - which is the answer to the question.
Answer:
The answer is B, I took the test :)

Answer:
Neither cereals nor eggs <u>appeal</u> to me for breakfast.
Explanation:
Subject-verb agreement is a term from linguistics, referring to the fact that the subject and verb must agree in number. Both the subject and verb need to be singular or plural.
The given sentence is an example of a tricky agreement problem, as determining the right number of the verb may be difficult when two subjects are connected by <em>neither-nor</em> or <em>either-or.</em> The number of the verb depends on the noun closest to it. If the noun is plural, the plural form of the verb should be used. The verb is in the singular form if the noun closest to it is singular. That is why the sentence should say <em>Neither cereals nor eggs </em><u><em>appeal </em></u><em>to me for breakfast</em>. The verb in singular form should be used in sentences such as <em>Neither eggs nor bacon </em><u><em>appeals</em></u><em> to me for breakfast.</em>
