THE CORRECT ANSWER IS A. THE LAST PARAGRAPH STATES
15. The correct answer is A.
The last paragraph states: "The history of free African Americans
families in colonial New York and New Jersey, by contrast, is quite
different from that of free African Americans in the South. Most
were descended from slaves freed by the Dutch West India
Company between 1644 and 1664 or by individual owners." The first
paragraph states: "However, these cases represent only a small
minority of free African Americans in the South. Most free African
Americans were actually the descendants of African American men
and white servant women." Taken together, these excepts support
choice A.
