Explanation:

Matching the Enslaved Person to the Reason:

1. A mother who didn’t have enough money to buy food for herself and her baby...

• The reason that fits is "... may have sold herself into slavery in exchange for food for her and her baby." (This matches the mother’s need for food for herself and her baby.)

1. An eight - year - old boy whose father couldn’t pay his debt...

• The reason that fits is "... may have been sold into slavery by his parents, to get money to pay the debt." (The father’s debt is the key here, and parents selling the child to pay debt matches.)

1. A skilled fighter captured during battle...

• The reason that fits is "... may have been enslaved as a prisoner of war." (Being captured in battle and being a prisoner of war aligns.)

1. An adult who owed many people money...

• The reason that fits is "... may have been enslaved because he couldn’t pay off his loans." (Owing money and not being able to pay off loans matches.)
