E

The white people of Jefferson do not want to engage with or employ the black population.

F

Answer 1

C & F

Step-by-step explanation:

It has been argued that Jane Randolph possessed fine intellectual gifts and was very well educated for those days. This might have very well contributed to the success of the most important Founding Father of the United States.

Well educated and intellectual gifts make statements suchs as

A (black citizens? pride?), B (segregation laws by Jeffferson?!), D (legitimate fears?), and E (white people of Jefferson?) even more unlikely than they already are due to their total lack of logic.

C & F are reasonable comments on people's behaviour.
