Question

The final paragraph adds to the development of the text mainly by showing_________

“Christians, you whose souls are filled with love for your fellow men, whose prayer to the Lord is, "Oh! that I may see thy salvation among the
children of men!" Does the battle wax warm? dost thou faint with the burden and heat of the day? Yet a little longer, the arm of the Lord is mighty
to save those who trust in him. Truth and right must prevail. The bondsman shall go free. Look to the future! Hark! the shout of joy gushes from
the heart of earth's freed millions! It rushes upward. The angels on heaven's outward battlements catch the sound on their golden lyres, and send
it thrilling through the echoing arches of the upper world. How sweet, how majestic, from those starry isles float those deep inspiring sounds over
the ocean of space! Softened and mellowed they reach earth, filing the soul with harmony, and breathing of God-of love-and of universal
freedom.”

A. that universal freedom so logically lines up with the Christian value of love for one's fellow human being that Christians should naturally want to support the
abolition of slavery

B. that Stanton is concerned that white Christians will not support abolition because they do not believe African American people have as much worth as white
people

C. that Stanton is promising that all Christians who support the abolition of the institution of slavery will be given a place in heaven

D. that universal freedom is meaningless without a more specific definition

Answer 1

A. that universal freedom so logically lines up with the Christian value of love for one's fellow human being that Christians should naturally want to support the abolition of slavery.

The text's concluding paragraph employs religious language and imagery to persuade Christians to support the abolition of slavery. It implies that the concept of universal freedom is consistent with Christian principles of love, and that in the end, truth and right will triumph, and the bondsman will be released. The paragraph's goal is to instill optimism and a sense of moral obligation in Christian readers in order for them to support the abolitionist cause.
