PLS HELP IF I DONT PASS I DIE, Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.
As sugar planters fled from the revolution in Haiti,
some moved to Cuba's Oriente Province, others to
North America—to Louisiana. By the time the Haitian
plantation owners and overseers reached New
Orleans, abolitionists were pressing to end the African
slave trade. The tragedy is that this movement to end
slavery did nothing to improve conditions in Louisiana
In fact, the state that slaves called Lousy Anna was
the very worst place for an African in America; it was
the Caribbean all over again a death sentence.
In every single American slave state, the population of
enslaved people kept rising even after the slave trade
was abolished. That was because enough enslaved
children were born, lived, and grew to become adults.
There was just one exception to this rule: Louisiana, There was just one exception to this rule: Louisiana,
where the native-born enslaved population kept
dropping. Sugar was a killer.
Unlike the Caribbean, Louisiana has cold snaps. That
put an additional pressure on the sugar harvest. Not
only did the slaves need to harvest the cane in perfect
rhythm with the grinding mills, but the entire crop had
to be cut down between mid-October and December
This pace only increased when growers installed
improved, steam-powered mills. People needed to
work faster than the weather and to keep pace with machines. which details do the authors include to support the claim in this passage? select two options.

Returning from vietnam, we were given a parade. crowds of screaming people waving signs — not just on one road, one day. no, they were everywhere. every day. on the streets, on the television, on the radio. a hot, angry tangle of shaking fists and ugly words that threatened us like a monster with a hundred heads. our country had chewed us up and spit us out, and now we were being treated as if it were our fault. which sentence best uses figurative language to match the paragraph's tone? a. our feet were frozen in place as the street itself strained to hold us back. b. i felt unappreciated and condemned for actions i had thought were heroic. c. i hadn't expected to find myself in a rags-to-riches situation such as this. d. we had come home to a feeding frenzy and were being treated as bait.
