Answer 1

D helped his mother run the plantation.

Step-by-step explanation:

After his father’s death in 1743, Washington inherited 10 slaves. In 1761 Washington acquired a farmhouse (which he later expanded to a five-farm estate) called Mount Vernon. In 1760, 49 slaves lived and worked on the estate; by 1799 that number had increased to over 300.
