Answer 1

A) Work conditions were harsher in the Caribbean, and plantations were much larger than those in North America.

Explanation:

the pf text book states: " Slaves in the Caribbean had the worst working conditions. They were required to work on sugar plantations from sunrise to sundown. The conditions were so severe that the average lifespan of a slave in the Caribbean was only 23 years old. Slaves in North America fared a bit better, though working conditions were still harsh."
