Answer:
They jumped into the Atlantic Ocean
Explanation:
During the journey across the Atlantic, Olaudah Equiano describes what two of his "wearied countrymen" did which was to jump into the Atlantic Ocean because they preferred death than to be kept captive in such a manner and be treated less than dogs.
He described that the two men were chained together and thus decided to jump into the Ocean when there was a smooth sea and moderate wind. He also described that another chained person jumped in and many more would have followed suit if not for the intervention of the slave masters.

Answer:
2. The word choice darkens the tone.
Explanation:
According to the excerpt by Irving, he describes a horrific scene, where there is agony, extreme bodily pain, along with blood to make the scene more ghastly and he also talks about the most horrific thing being a "horror of the mind"
The technique that Irving uses to build suspense in the excerpt is his use of words that darken the tone as it never explains the cause of the pain but vividly describes it.
