Question

Read the passage and answer the question that follows:

Many slaves preferred not to escape their horrible lives on plantations because their families were often with them. Despite the fact that slaves had no rights, they often found ways to sabotage the plantations on which they lived. Slaves would pretend to be ill so they would not have to work. They would also create trouble by breaking tools such as hoes and plows, which were needed for work. Mothers would work fewer hours to care for their children, so women gave birth to many children. The Br'er Rabbit stories illustrate this tricky ingenuity.

Choose the sentence that corrects a historical inaccuracy in the passage.

Many slaves ran away rather than endure the difficult conditions on the plantations.

Men, women, and children alike had to work long days on the plantations.

Slaves had limited rights under the law, which allowed them to recuperate when ill.

The Br'er Rabbit stories illustrate good behavior, teaching slaves how to work well.
