Choices 1 and 3.
- (1) shows the plantations’ dependence on cheap labor, which explains why planters sought a new labor source after emancipation.
- (3) directly shows the effort to import replacement workers — Gladstone asking the shipping company to provide workers supports the shift to indentured Indians.
Choices 2 and 4 do not support that change: a 24-hour cycle describes work conditions (not the change of labor source), and exhibiting Quamina’s chained body relates to punishment/control, not the recruitment of indentured Indians.
