man
He works hard for Tibeats.

Answer 1

He cleanse the garden.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Twelve Years A Slave" by Solomon Northup is a biographical account of his life, how he became a slave after being captured, despite being a free man. The biography recollects the life of a slave and how hard it was for them to survive during the pre-Civil War times in the South.

Chapter 11 focuses on the recovery of Platt, the author Solomon Northup, who had to run away after he almost killed his master Tibeats, but in self-defense. He came to the home of his first master, William Ford, where he was taken care of. And in response to the gratitude shown to him by the Fords, Platt tends to his mistress's garden, "... cleaning the walks, weeding the flower beds, and pulling up the rank grass beneath the jessamine vines" for three days while recovering.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
