Question

which line from the passage best provides evidence that the sugar trade led to the end of slavery?
“in france, one side argued that slaves must be freed.”
“to change anything in the sugar islands would invite slave revolts, help france’s rivals, and thus hurt the nation.”
“no one was sure where these great clashes would lead.”
“in revolutionary france, the defenders of slaves began to win the argument against the advocates of property rights.”

Explanation:

The line about defenders of slaves winning the argument against property - rights advocates in revolutionary France implies a shift that could lead to the end of slavery related to the sugar trade. The other options do not directly connect the sugar trade to the end of slavery.

Answer:

"In revolutionary France, the defenders of slaves began to win the argument against the advocates of property rights."
