Question

Which analysis most effectively explains a key concept presented in Benjamin Banneker's letter to Thomas Jefferson?

A Banneker concludes that since he and Jefferson share common beliefs about blacks and whites, they should treat each other as equals.
B Banneker reasons that those who are free have a responsibility to protect those who are not because all were created by the same Being and tasked with caring for those who are less fortunate.

C Banneker claims that because Americans were subjected to British rule they should be held accountable for the well-being of all those still held in servitude.
D Banneker asserts that since blacks and whites share the same creator, with the same features and abilities, each should be compassionate toward the others' circumstances and seek freedom for all.

it might be difficult to answer because theres a excerpt that goes with it but you prolly dont wanna read it

Answer 1

I’d go with D. But seeing that the excerpt is not here I can’t be 100% sure. It seems to be the most detailed in what could have been read in the letter.
Hope this helped.

Answer 2

In his letter to Thomas Jefferson, African-American author Benjamin Banneker disagrees with the treatment of blacks, claiming that it contradicts with the principles of Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights. Referring to Jefferson's own principles he states in the letter that God created all men equally. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
