Explanation:

These questions are about analyzing a text (likely a passage by Anderson) to understand his messages, requests, and wishes. To answer, one would need to refer to the relevant paragraph(s) of the text (not fully provided here, but typically in such assessment practice, the text is from a historical or literary source about Anderson, possibly related to slavery or post - slavery context). For question 1, we analyze the tone and content of his worry for the former master's safety. Option A suggests the master was lucky not to be punished, which could be inferred if the context around the master's actions had potential for punishment. Option B implies the master is a troublemaker, but worry for safety doesn't necessarily mean that. Option C is about Anderson wanting to distance himself, which isn't directly related to worry for safety. Option D is about a condition for return, not about the worry message. So likely A. For question 2, to test sincerity, asking for wages earned during enslavement (Option B) is a common way to test if the Colonel is truly repentant or sincere about treating him fairly, as it's related to compensating for past exploitation. Freedom (A) might be assumed, a role (C) is less about sincerity, and greetings (D) are trivial. For question 3, in the context of the time (post - slavery, concerns for Black children), wishing safety and education (Option C) is a common and logical wish, as education was a path to betterment and safety from discrimination/violence. Returning to childhood homes (A) may not be safe, good marriages and jobs (B) are more specific and less foundational than safety and education, and good relations with the former master (D) is not a primary wish given the history.

Answer:

1. A. The former master is fortunate not to have been punished.
2. B. Wages earned while they were enslaved
3. C. Safety and an education
