Answer 1

B) chained close together in the bottom of the ship

Step-by-step explanation:

The traveling condition of enslaved Africans being taken to the Americas and Europe was a nightmare. The captured slaves were forced to board the slave ships and then chained close together in the bottom of the ship.

The journey to the West for these slaves was unimaginable and horrible. They were branded and cramped together on the below deck of the ship for month's end. The slaves also suffered from suffocation, hunger , and various disease because of poor hygiene.

It was atrocity at its worst and poor enslaved Africans had to bear the brunt of such horrifying treatment.
