Read the passage from sugar changed the world. you could date a great change in the world to a visit one madame villeneuve made to france in 1714. that year, pauline, an enslaved woman from the caribbean, arrived in france as the personal servant of her mistress. when madame villeneuve set off from the coast to visit paris, she left pauline in a convent. the young woman spent her time studying with the nuns and went so far in her training that she asked to become a nun herself and remain in the convent. the nuns agreed, which enraged madame villeneuve. she rushed to a judge, demanding to have her property back. was pauline a free woman, a bride of christ, or an item to be bought, sold, and warehoused when she was not in use? twenty-three years earlier, king louis xiv had issued a set of rules that defined slavery as legal in the french sugar islands. but when two slaves managed to reach france, he freed them—saying they became free "as soon as they [touched] the soil" of france. the judges sided with pauline—she was real to them, human, not a piece of property. for pauline's judges, as for king louis, slavery far off across the seas was completely different from enslaved individuals in france. what claim do the authors make in this passage? madame villeneuve deserves credit for persuading the judges that enslaved people should not be property. the judges' freeing of pauline would have a significant effect on how people viewed involuntary servitude. because so many other people remained enslaved, pauline's specific case was not very important. the disagreement between king louis xiv and the judges would have major effects on laws.

The authors of “Sugar Changed the World”, the couple Marc Aronson and Marina Budhos, want to claim with this passage how different the views on slavery were for French inhabitants and for the inhabitants in the colonies and how the change in view came about.  

The judges' freeing of Pauline would have a significant effect on how people viewed involuntary servitude.

Explanation:

I just toook the test

C) “They provide examples of how laws and attitudes about equality changed in France.”

Explanation:

A claim in literature refers to something which is asserted to be true. It can be both judgmental or be factual. In order to form a larger argument, it can work in conjunction with other claims.

Derived from the Latin word 'clamare' it means to "To shout, cry out." A claim is made when one put forward their opinion or share the facts.

Sentence which best states the authors' claim in this passage is :

The Age of Science has made the role of modern chemists similar to the former role of slaves.

c

Explanation:

The correct option is C) “They provide examples of how laws and attitudes about equality changed in France.” In the passage there are several examples of how people in France had different views and attitudes towards slavery, especially King Louis XIV, who freed two slaves when they reached French soil, judges that took the Pauline case, and Pierre Lemerre the Younger  in 1716 with the idea that all men are equal.

Option A is incorrect since the passage does not compare slavery in France and other colonies

Option B is also incorrect since it does not refer to the final years of slavery

And option D is also incorrect since it did not focus on the slaves entering the convent to be free; the example of Pauline was used to describe how slavery was seen in France.  

The details in the passage support the central idea by providig examples of how laws and attitudes about equality changed in France. While in other parts of Europe, for example in eastern Europe, farmers were considered objects which could be sold, the Declaration of Independence of 1716 in France stated that all men are equal. Such thought was unbearable in societies in which slavery was a fact and the idea of equality was against the natural order. Furthermore, to give another example of how France presented unmatched arguments and ideas about equality, the texts tells us that in the Age of Sugar, a momento in which slavery was more cruel than ever, the ideas of equality of Lemerre the Younger started to be heard as the new reality in France.
