Read this excerpt from The People Could Fly.
Well, there in Ripley was a man named Mr. Rankins, the rest was John, I think. He had a "station" there for escaping slaves. Ohio was a free state, I found out, so once they got across, Mr. Rankins would see to them. We went at night so we could continue back for more and to be sure no slave catchers would follow us there.
Mr. Rankins had a big light about thirty feet high up and it burned all night. It meant freedom for slaves if they could get to that bright flame.
What viewpoint does Mr. Rankins most likely share with the speaker?
a
Escaping from slavery requires very little effort or determination.
b
Being part of the Underground Railroad becomes easier with time.
c
Taking personal risks is worthwhile if it helps others gain their freedom.
d
Helping others out of a hard situation often leads to personal reward.
