What can be inferred about the author based on the following text? "If they looked behind them, there was the mighty ocean which they had passed and was now as a main bar and gulf to separate them from all the civil parts of the world."

He believes Europe to be the only civilized part of the world.

He has been separated from the rest of the men with whom he was traveling.

He doesn't believe in being hospitable to strangers.

Which of the following quotes contains an allusion ?

"It is recorded in Scripture as a mercy to the Apostle and his shipwrecked company, that the barbarians showed them no small kindness in refreshing them,3 but these savage barbarians, when they met with them (as after will appear) were readier to fill their sides full of arrows than otherwise. "

"Also there was found more of their corn and of their beans of various colors; the corn and beans they brought away, purposing to give the Indians full satisfaction when they should meet with any of them..."

"All this while the Indians came skulking about them, and would sometimes show themselves aloof off, but when any approached near them, they would run away; and once they stole away their tools where they had been at work and were gone to dinner."

" If they looked behind them, there was the mighty ocean which they had passed and was now as a main bar and gulf to separate them from all the civil parts of the world."

What was likely Bradford's purpose for including the comment in bold in the following passage? But that which was most sad and lamentable was, that in two or three months' time half of their company died, especially in January and February, being the depth of winter, and wanting houses and other comforts; being infected with the scurvy and other diseases which this long voyage and their inaccommodate condition had brought upon them. So as there died some times two or three of a day in the foresaid time, that of 100 and odd persons, scarce fifty remained. And of these, in the time of most distress, there was but six or seven persons who to their great commendations, be it spoken, spared no pains night nor day, but with abundance of toil and hazard of their own health...did all the homely and necessary offices for them which dainty and queasy stomachs cannot endure to hear named; and all this willingly and cheerfully, without any grudging in the least, showing herein their true love unto their friends and brethren ; a rare example and worthy to be remembered.

He wanted to emphasize the Christian spirit within these men to demonstrate the goodness in the Puritans.

He wanted to earn praise for himself.

He was jealous of these individuals and is speaking sarcastically.

He wrote this to foreshadow the survival of the other men.

What does this line from the peace treaty in Of Plymouth Plantation mean? "If any did unjustly war against him, they would aid him; if any did war against them, he should aid them."

During times of war, the two people will become allies against the opposing team.

During times of war, the two people will agree to remain isolated from the war.

During times of war, the one who did not start the war does not have to be involved.

During times of war, the two people should help via supplies, but are not subject to fight in the war.

Which of the following is the main idea in Bradford's account?

Everything that happens is due to God's divine providence.

The Pilgrim's stole from the Native Americans.

It was winter when the Pilgrims arrived.

The Native Americans and the Pilgrims formed a peace treaty.

Which of the following quotes demonstrate the theme in Of Plymouth Plantation ? Select all that apply.

"After these thing he returned to his place called Sowams, some 40 miles from this place, but Squanto continued with them and was their interpreter and was a special instrument sent of God for their good beyond their expectation."

"Their men ran with all speed to recover their arms, as by the good providence of God they did."

"And here is to be noted a special providence of God, and a great mercy to this poor people, that here they got seed to plant them corn the next year..."

" So as there died some times two or three of a day in the foresaid time, that of 100 and odd persons, scarce fifty remained."

"After this, the shallop being got ready, they set out again for the better discovery of this place, and the master of the ship desired to go himself. "

Why is the event in the following text from The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano considered situational irony? " I had never seen among any people such instances of brutal cruelty; and this not only shown towards us blacks, but also to some of the whites themselves."

We would expect the white men to be beating only the slaves, so what happened is the opposite of what we would expect.

No one on the ship was actually beaten; this quote is speaking metaphorically.

We would expect that none of the slaves would be on deck to see any of this.

We would expect the slaves to revolt and take over the ship, but they never did.

What experiences do these excerpts of Equiano’s slave narrative describe?

the horrors slaves faced during The Middle Passage

the observations of a slave merchant

What was Equiano’s main purpose in writing The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Equiano ?

to sway public opinion about slavery

to contrast life in Africa and life in Barbados

to provide detailed information on 18th century sea travel

to entertain readers with dramatic episodes in his life

In The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano , why did slaves jump off the ship?

They preferred death over the misery of their current conditions in captivity.

They were having hallucinations and thought they could fly.

They just wanted to go for a swim.

It was an old African tradition to jump off of a ship while traveling to a new country.

What is the main idea of Equiano's slave narrative?

The slave trade is cruel and contradictory to Christian beliefs.

Slaves went through extreme environments to arrive in America.

Slaves were not given enough food on slave ships.

Slaves were separated from their families.

What did Equiano mean when he called the slave traders "nominal Christians" in the following quote: "I remember, in the vessel in which I was brought over, in the men’s apartment, there were several brothers, who, in the sale, were sold in different lots; and it was very moving on this occasion, to see and hear their cries at parting. O, ye nominal Christians ! might not an African ask you — Learned you this from your God, who says unto you, Do unto all men as you would men should do unto you?"

They claim to be Christians but do not act like it.

They are true Christians in every sense of the word.

They don't go to church at all.
