In this passage, what happens to Smith and his family?

A. They are moved to another plantation.

B. They are broken apart when Smith is sold to another owner.

C. They are granted their freedom by a generous owner.

" At the close of that year I was sold to a Thomas Stanton, and had to be separated from my wife and one daughter, who was about one month old. He resided at Stonington-point. To this place I brought with me from my last master's, two johannes, three old Spanish dollars, and two thousand of coppers, besides five pounds of my wife's money. This money I got by cleaning gentlemen's shoes and drawing boots, by catching musk-rats and minks, raising potatoes and carrots, &c. and by fishing in the night, and at odd spells."

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

I choosed B just because of the fact where it said "I was sold to a Thomas Stanton" plus it added that it separated him from his wife and daughter.
