Question

question 3 (multiple choice worth 5 points) how do scholars believe slavery most likely began?
prisoners captured during war were forced to farm land for their captors.
slavery began as a punishment for those who did not follow the laws and rules.
soldiers who didnt meet standards in the military were forced to serve others.
wealthy noblemen began to use peasants to build ships and castles.

Explanation:

Scholars believe slavery likely began with war captives (prisoners) being forced to work, like farming, for their captors. Other options (punishment for lawbreakers, unqualified soldiers, nobles using peasants) don't align with the primary scholarly view on slavery's origins.

Answer:

A. Prisoners captured during war were forced to farm land for their captors.
