Answer 1

The correct response 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 servitude was typically a contractual arrangement for a specific period, after which the servant would gain certain rewards (like land or tools), whereas slavery was a lifelong condition without the prospect of freedom or compensation.
