Which phrase is evidence that enslaved people on
plantations were treated especially badly?
A city slave is almost a freeman, compared with a slave
on the plantation. He is much better fed and clothed, and
enjoys privileges altogether unknown to the slave on the
plantation. There is a vestige of decency, a sense of
shame, that does much to curb and check those outbreaks
of atrocious cruelty so commonly enacted upon the
plantation. He is a desperate slaveholder, who will shock
the humanity of his nonslaveholding neighbors with the
cries of his lacerated slave.

neighbors"

Read the paragraph below. Identify the topic sentence and explain what the main idea is in your own words.

Confucius is an important Chinese historical figure who adopted and taught a set of morals and life lessons that some people still practice. The morals and life lessons showed how the ruling class of China should behave. Confucius gave up a good-paying government job to teach about what he called “beautiful conduct.” His followers, called disciples, listened to his teachings and wrote them down. These written documents formed a social code, or way that a society should behave. The social code was passed down to each generation of the ruling class. Confucius believed that if those in authority set a good example, those in the lower classes would follow accordingly.
