Argumentative essay, sure. But what about? Give me a topic.
The correct option is C.
Mr Auld was very cross with his wife when he caught her teaching Douglass how to read ABC. He told her that is against the law to teach a slave to read and beside, a slave who know how to read will not be satisfied with been a slave anymore and thus will not be useful to anybody. This means that, a slave master will no longer be able to hold down a slave who knows how to read.
Answer:
C) An author will use a tone, to impart a certain effect to influence readers, such as using negative tones on a topic they feel strongly against, hoping to influence the reader to have the same beliefs.
Answer: I would contend that the right answer is the E) "Columbus, the Incan highway was over 2,500 miles long, extending..."
Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that it is not very formal to use the word "being," so option D should be easily discarded. In addition, in option C the use of "which" seems redundant, since the sentence is already about the Incan highway. Furthermore, option B is also incorrect, since the sentence should say "extending" and not "extended" (it extended that distance, but it was not extended). Finally, option A can also be discarded, since "which" should have been followed by a verb. Option E is, therefore, the correct one, since the first sentence acts as a definition of the Incan highway, which is subsequently described in further detail.
