Read the excerpt from thoughts and sentiments. and if such men can boast of greater degrees of knowledge, than any african is entitled to, i shall let them enjoy all the advantages of it unenvied, as i fear it consists only in a greater share of infidelity, and that of a blacker kind than only skin deep. and if their complexion be not what i may suppose, it is at least the nearest in resemblance to an infernal hue. what belief is implied but not explicitly stated in this excerpt? a. all men are created equal in the eyes of the christian god. b. there are good men who understand the need for slavery. c. those who support slavery are evil, and their souls are doomed. d. africans are entitled to the same rights as europeans and americans.

The correct answer is option letter C (Those who support slavery are evil, and their souls are doomed.). The book “Thoughts and Sentiments on the Evil of Slavery” by Ottobah Cugoano (1999) is a criticism of slavery by Cugoano, an African descent. In his writing, Cugoano rejects the idea of pro-slavery of that day. In this excerpt presented above, Cugoano argues that the men who worked with slaves (“such men”) had advantages that he did not envied, since those advantages were not good or appreciated. Cugoano describes such men as “that of a blacker kind” of black, a colour that in this case does not describe their skin but their actions and souls. Therefore, that idea would be the nearest clue of their “infernal hue”, that is, that “such men” that support slavery are evil, and their souls are doomed.

The answer to this question is: C
