Why did many slaveowners limit the literacy or education of their slaves?

Educated enslaved people would have threatened their authority

Explanation:

There is a saying that ''Education is power'' and this was what the Southern whites feared during the slave era. They were concerned that if enslaved people became educated, they would be able to survive on their own without the need for dependence on their white masters. This economic emancipation would have dealt a severe blow to slavery.

They were also concerned that educated enslaved people would be able to defend themselves legally against their white masters which would eventually lead to their freedom and this was simply unfathomable to the white masters.

the correct answer would be d, i never like waking up.

explanation:

iambic tetrameter is a meter which is basically a line consisting of four feet of iambic and it is used in poetry. it consists of unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable. in this question, the only statement which is giving the feel of being stressed is option d, which says that i never like waking up. it means the person is feeling stressed whenever he wakes up. he never likes to wake up and and whenever he wakes up, he doesn't like it. so a sense or feel of being stressed is in this statement.
