5. At the end of the text, Jacobs writes about a woman who begged her to get her a newspaper. Why does Jacobs likely include this story in the

text?

O A To demonstrate the conflicting and often incorrect information

received by slaves

OB To condemn the illiteracy and lack of education enforced by

slaveholders

OC To correct the woman who thought America had a queen

OD To bemoan the lack of available newspapers and literature in the

South

 A To demonstrate the conflicting and often incorrect information  received by slaves.

Explanation:

This is based on the article: ''What Slaves are Taught to Think of the North'' by Harriet Jacobs.

From this article we discover that the Southern whites tried very much to discredit the North in the eyes of the enslaved by giving them false information and denying them the right to learn how to read so they could see through the deception.

Harriet Jacobs uses the example of the woman who begged her to read a newspaper to show just how bad the misinformation was because the woman actually thought that the United States had a Queen who had more authority than the President.
