Need read the passage from olaudah equiano’s autobiography. the closeness of the place, and the heat of the climate, added to the number in the ship, which was so crowded that each had scarcely room to turn himself, almost suffocated us. the air soon became unfit for respiration from a variety of loathsome smells, and brought on a sickness among the slaves, of which many died . . the shrieks of the women, and the groans of the dying, rendered the whole a scene of horror almost inconceivable. which is described in the text? the deaths of very few enslaved people a crowded but cool place the existence of strong smells a small and dark space

The correct answer is the deaths of very few enslaved people.

Olaudah Equiano (1745-1797) was a writer and abolitionist, enslaved as a kid.

He gained his freedom in 1766 by intelligent negotiating and careful savings.

He published his autobiography, The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano (1789), which portrayed the horrors of slavery and helped passage of the British Slave Trade Act of 1807, which abolished the African slave trade.
