Question

Which conclusion follows most directly from the drawing of a slave ship's cargo hold?

A. The drawing proves that the entire transatlantic slave trade was inherently beneficial for enslaved Africans.
B. The drawing suggests that enslaved Africans had access to adequate living conditions and medical care during their journey on slave ships.
C. The drawing demonstrates that the Middle Passage was a comfortable and humane experience for enslaved Africans.

Answer 1

The conclusion that follows most directly from the drawing of a slave ship's cargo hold is that the Middle Passage was a brutal and inhumane experience for enslaved Africans. (A,B,C).

Step-by-step explanation:

The conclusion that follows most directly from the drawing of a slave ship's cargo hold is that the Middle Passage was a brutal and inhumane experience for enslaved Africans.

The drawing and historical accounts describe the tight and overcrowded conditions on the ship, with enslaved people chained and separated, living in extreme discomfort with limited access to fresh air, sanitary facilities, and medical care.

This evidence contradicts the options A, B, and C, as the drawing does not prove that the slave trade was beneficial, nor does it suggest adequate living conditions or comfort for the enslaved Africans.
