Explanation:

Laurence Sterne's response to Ignatius Sancho (who was involved in advocating against slavery) is centered around expressing sympathy for Sancho's cause (relating to the abolition of slavery or African rights). The other options: encouraging publication, convincing to focus elsewhere, or explaining non - writing about slavery don't align with the historical context of Sterne's response, which was more about showing empathy for Sancho's advocacy.

Answer:

A. to show that he is sympathetic to Sancho’s cause
