Respuesta :

Answer:

I think it’s A

Explanation:

The way in which the use of the word 'machine' backs the author's stand or claim in the given passage would be:

A). Its negative connotation indicates that enslaved people had to work like robots instead of human beings.

  • In the given excerpt from 'Sugar Changed the World,' the employment of the word 'machine' to denote the continuous work done by the slaves without any break is similar to the machines.
  • This suggests a negative meaning that the slaves were made to work like robots and their rights and freedom were being ignored and exploited badly.
  • Through this comparison, the author suggests the extreme level of exploitation and brutality the slaves were encountering every day without any care or concern for them or their needs.

Thus, option A is the correct answer.
