Read the paragraph, which is a summary of a slave narrative by Olaudah Equiano.

[1] While he was working for Thomas Farmer, he began to buy fruits and other goods and sell them himself. [2] He faced insults and difficulties doing this; however, he was determined to continue making money, which he did. [3] He wanted to obtain enough savings to buy his freedom, which Robert King had promised him he could do for the same amount that King had paid for him. [4] When he had saved enough money, he bought his freedom from King and lived the rest of his life as a free man.

sentence 2
sentence 3
sentence 4

1 answer

Sentence 3 is structured differently than the others. While sentences 1, 2, and 4 primarily describe actions and events, sentence 3 focuses on Equiano's desire and intention regarding his freedom, which adds a different layer of meaning and emphasizes his goal rather than a specific action.
