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. Slave owners fought back, arguing that owners should be able to list their slaves as property when they arrived in France and take them with them when they left. Though most parts of France agreed to this, law­makers in Paris hesitated. Pierre Lemerre the Younger made the case for the slaves. "All men are equal," he insisted in 1716—exactly sixty years before the Declaration of Independence. To say that "all men are equal" in 1716, when slavery was flourishing in every corner of the world and most eastern Europeans themselves were farmers who could be sold along with the land they worked, was like announcing that there was a new sun in the sky. In the Age of Sugar, when slavery was more brutal than ever before, the idea that all humans are equal began to spread—toppling kings, overturning governments, transforming the entire world. How do the details in the passage support the central idea? A)They compare the end of slavery in the French colonies with the end of slavery in other colonies.
B)They provide details about the final few years of slavery in Europe and its many colonies.
C)They provide examples of how laws and attitudes about equality changed in France.
D) They explain why enslaved people entered convents in an attempt to gain their freedom.

Answers

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.

There are not a billion spiders in the attic all spinning webs. If there were even 100000, the volume the webs occupied would be much beyond what any one spider could catch. Indeed, I suspect that the webs would almost be solid in nature.
