in contrast to people who were enslaved, indentured servants
a. were usually born in the americas.
b. paid for their own food and place to live.
c. became free after a set number of years.
d. were taken by force in their home countries.

Explanation:

Indentured servants had contracts (indentures) that specified a period of service (usually a few years). After fulfilling this term, they were freed. Enslaved people had no such term - they were enslaved for life.

• Option A: Indentured servants were often from Europe (not born in America).
• Option B: Their masters provided food and shelter during their service.
• Option D: Enslaved people were taken by force; indentured servants often came voluntarily (though some were tricked).

Answer:

C. became free after a set number of years.
