THE CORRECT ANSWER IS E. THE LAST TWO SENTENCES OF THE LAST PARAGR...

17. The correct answer is E.

The last two sentences of the last paragraph read: "None of the

fourteen families appears to be descended from a white servant

woman and an African American man. However, Lutheran church

records in the eighteenth century show a few couples like this

having children baptized." The last sentence especially suggests that

despite the fact that none of the fourteen families studied

descended from white servant women, church records indicate that

some such families seem to have existed at that time. This is

reflected in choice E.
