(B)by describing how smallpox was used as a weapon in America

(D)by discussing the presence of the disease where enslaved people originated

(D)by discussing the presence of the disease where enslaved people originated

Explanation:

The text discusses that smallpox originated in agricultural settlements in Africa. What can establish a connection with the slave trade, since during this historical period it was common for Europeans to go to Africa to buy slaves that would be taken to America. In addition, people were brought from Africa to America all the time, which may justify the spread of the disease on the American and European continents.

there are two central themes in  the miracle worker: that the human spirit can triumph over even the most daunting of disabilities and that a dedicated teacher can transform the lives of those with whom he or she comes into contact. these inspirational themes have long been personified in the widely known true-life relationship between helen keller and annie sullivan, but  the miracle worker  also dramatizes collateral issues that extend beyond the particular case. underlying helen’s process of learning basic principles of what annie terms “obedience” (decorum, etiquette, and hygiene), there are more universal lessons of self-governance—the inculcation of self-restraint instead of willfulness, the development of self-discipline instead of self-indulgence. only when these lessons have been mastered can helen begin to acquire language—which, annie says, “is to the mind more than light is to the eye.”
