Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.

You could date a great change in the world to a visit one Madame Villeneuve made to France in 1714. That year, Pauline, an enslaved woman from the Caribbean, arrived in France as the personal servant of her mistress. When Madame Villeneuve set off from the coast to visit Paris, she left Pauline in a convent. The young woman spent her time studying with the nuns and went so far in her training that she asked to become a nun herself and remain in the convent. The nuns agreed, which enraged Madame Villeneuve. She rushed to a judge, demanding to have her property back. Was Pauline a free woman, a bride of Christ, or an item to be bought, sold, and warehoused when she was not in use?

Twenty-three years earlier, King Louis XIV had issued a set of rules that defined slavery as legal in the French sugar islands. But when two slaves managed to reach France, he freed them—saying they became free "as soon as they [touched] the soil" of France. The judges sided with Pauline—she was real to them, human, not a piece of property. For Pauline's judges, as for King Louis, slavery far off across the seas was completely different from enslaved individuals in France.

Slave owners fought back, arguing that owners should be able to list their slaves as property when they arrived in France and take them with them when they left. Though most parts of France agreed to this, law­makers in Paris hesitated. Pierre Lemerre the Younger made the case for the slaves. "All men are equal," he insisted in 1716—exactly sixty years before the Declaration of Independence.

To say that "all men are equal" in 1716, when slavery was flourishing in every corner of the world and most eastern Europeans themselves were farmers who could be sold along with the land they worked, was like announcing that there was a new sun in the sky. In the Age of Sugar, when slavery was more brutal than ever before, the idea that all humans are equal began to spread—toppling kings, overturning governments, transforming the entire world.

How do the details in the passage support the central idea?

A. They compare the end of slavery in the French colonies with the end of slavery in other colonies.
B. They provide details about the final few years of slavery in Europe and its many colonies.
C. They provide examples of how laws and attitudes about equality changed in France.

Excerpt from Edgar Allan Poe & Jack London
Sarah Post
In his short story "The Black Cat," Edgar Allan Poe describes the relationship between man and pet:
3-1 was especially fond of animals, and was indulged by my parents with a great variety of pets. With these I spent most of my
time, and never was so happy as when feeding and caressing them. This peculiarity of character grew with my growth, and in
my manhood, I derived from it one of my principal sources of pleasure. To those who have cherished an affection for a faithful
and sagacious dog, I need hardly be at the trouble of explaining the nature or the intensity of the gratification thus derivable.
There is something in the unselfish and self-sacrificing love of a brute, which goes directly to the heart of him who has had
frequent occasion to test the paltry friendship and gossamer fidelity of mere Man.... Pluto--this was (my cat's name-- was my
favorite pet and playmate. I alone fed him, and he attended me wherever I went about the house. It was even with difficulty
that I could prevent him from following me through the strets."
Sarah Post asserts that over 55% of all households in the United States include a cat, dog, or both." Which statement BEST
expresses how Poe (if one may judge from The Black Cat') might account for this fact?
A)
Pets are less complicated than people
B)
Pets are easily replaceable, people are not
Pets are better and more faithful friends than people,
D)
Pets appeal to people who are too shy to find human friends
