from thoughts and sentiments on the evil and wicked traffic of the slavery and commerce of the human species
by quobna ottobah cugoano
the kind exertions of many benevolent and humane gentlemen, against the iniquitous traffic of slavery and oppression, has been attended with much good to many, and must redound with great honor to themselves, to humanity and their country; their laudable endeavours have been productive of the most beneficent effects in preventing that savage barbarity from taking place in free countries at home. in this, as well as in many other respects, there is one class of people (whose virtues of probity and humanity are well known) who are worthy of universal approbation and imitation, because, like men of honor and humanity, they have jointly agreed to carry on no slavery and savage barbarity among them; and, since the last war, some mitigation of slavery has been obtained in some respective districts of america, though not in proportion to their own vaunted claims of freedom; but it is to be hoped, that they will yet go on to make a further and greater reformation. however, notwithstanding all that has been done and written against it, that brutish barbarity, and unparalleled injustice, is still carried on to a very great extent in the colonies, and with an avidity as insidious, cruel and oppressive as ever

in these excerpts, how does cugoano’s approach differ from sancho’s approach?

• cugoano appeals to his audience personally, while sancho appeals to the greater public.
• cugoano has a much more authoritative tone than sancho, who is respectful to sterne.
• cugoano calls for people to take small steps to end slavery, while sancho asks for bold moves.
• cugoano is more willing to wait than sancho, who is calling for immediate action.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The excerpt from Cugoano does not show a personal appeal, and Sancho's approach (from "Letters of the Late Ignatius Sancho") is not about appealing to the greater public in the context of these excerpts, so A is incorrect.
• Option B: Cugoano's writing has a tone that emphasizes the need for reform and speaks about the issue with authority (e.g., discussing the efforts against slavery and the need for further reformation). Sancho, in his letters (implied by the title), is respectful to Sterne (likely a recipient or figure he addresses), so this option matches the tone difference.
• Option C: There is no indication in the Cugoano excerpt that he calls for small steps, and Sancho's approach (from the title's context) is not about asking for bold moves in the way described, so C is incorrect.
• Option D: Cugoano is not shown as willing to wait; he emphasizes the need for further reformation, and Sancho's approach (from the title's context) is not about immediate action in the way described, so D is incorrect.

Answer:

B. Cugoano has a much more authoritative tone than Sancho, who is respectful to Sterne.
