d exertions of many benevolent and humane gentlemen, against uitous traffic of slavery and oppression, has been attended with ood to many, and must redound with great honor to themselves, to y and their country; their laudable endeavours have been ve of the most beneficent effects in preventing that savage y from taking place in free countries at home. in this, as well as in her respects, there is one class of people (whose virtues of probity anity are well known) who are worthy of universal approbation and , because, like men of honor and humanity, they have jointly o carry on no slavery and savage barbarity among them; and, last war, some mitigation of slavery has been obtained in some e districts of america, though not in proportion to their own claims of freedom; but it is to be hoped, that they will yet go on to urther and greaterreformation. however, notwithstanding all that done and written against it, that brutish barbarity, and led injustice, is still carried on to a very great extent in the and with an avidity as insidious, cruel and oppressive as ever.

in these excerpts, how is cugoano’s purpose similar to sancho’s purpose?
like sancho, cugoano is asking for someone’s help in passing on his message.
like sancho, cugoano is speaking out against the horrible practice of slavery.
like sancho, cugoano is hoping that some of the africans held in captivity will be released.
like sancho, cugoano is trying to become a widely read writer and respected philosopher.

Explanation:

Cugoano's work (from the title and excerpt) focuses on opposing the "evil and... traffic of slavery", and Sancho's excerpt (mentioning "acts of charity" in a context related to addressing issues, likely slavery given the pairing) also aims to speak against slavery. Option A is incorrect as there's no focus on "passing on a message" via help. Option C is incorrect as the excerpt doesn't focus on releasing captives. Option D is incorrect as the purpose is anti - slavery, not personal literary/philosophical fame.

Answer:

B. Like Sancho, Cugoano is speaking out against the horrible practice of slavery.
