The authors support their claim and purpose (D.) by using words with negative connotations, such as hacked and merciless.

In this excerpt, <u>the authors are describing the feeding of sugarcane</u>, <u>which implied working very hard</u>. They describe it as a bad experience since cut cane had to be fed by enslaved men and women who had to deal with dangerous working conditions and could not even rest. For that reason, <u>the authors use words with negative connotations</u>, that is to say <u>words that are used to denote a bad feeling or an unpleasant emotion</u>. Besides 'hacked' and 'merciless, other words with negative connotation are 'dangerous' and 'bad'.

2. his psychology which is described in the middle as bubbly and spirited.
3. his effect on others.

Answer
The word you want is in the first section -- lithesome.

Nimble means physically light in action. Think of a ballet dancer as being nimble.
