Answer 1

The correct answer is: **Indentured servants agreed to work for no money in exchange for land and tools after a certain period of time, while slaves were forced to work indefinitely.**

Indentured servants typically signed a contract agreeing to work for a specific number of years (usually between four to seven) in exchange for passage to the New World, and after completing their service, they would receive land, tools, or money to help them start their own lives. Slaves, on the other hand, were not given any such agreements and were forced into labor for life without any opportunity for freedom or compensation.
