ก Use the passage below to answer parts A, B, and C of the question that follows.
"My thesis is that the religion of Africa disappeared from the consciousness of the American slave, that the slave himself,
by contact with a new environment, became a decidedly different person, having a new religion, a primitive Christianity, with
the central emphasis, not upon this world, but upon heaven
My task is to show that the religion of the Negro slave between 1619 and the Civil War did not originate in Africa, but was
something totally different... and that this distinctive element in the religion of the slave grew out of his contact with
Christianity in America. In taking this position I have tried to give due weight to those considerations which tend to support a
contrary position, such as the inertia of African habits and traditions in the life of the American slave, and the hostile
tendency of his social surroundings to religious development. On the other hand, I have considered the disintegrating effects
of the American slave system upon black groups that originated in Africa, together with the American slave's new social
contacts, which produced in him the religious attitude found, and out of which arose the early slave-preacher and church."
