Question

Which statement BEST explains seared in the flames of withering injustice as it is used in the second paragraph?

A) Injustice began fading away for slaves. B) Slaves were not haunted by the pain of injustice. C) Slaves had been tortured and scarred by injustice.
D) Slaves were not bothered by the injustice served to them.

Answer 1

The correct answer is: Option C. Slaves had been tortured and scarred by injustice.

According to the phrase, "seared in the flames" may be interpreted as a metaphor for torture - in this case, frantic application of torture to the point it causes physical scars. The expression "withering injustice" refers to the existence of legal impunity and its harrowing effects, which correlates to the institution of slavery - that which allows torture and causes scars.
