HELP “Speech to the Second Virginia Convention:” Which of the following inferences is best supported by the following lines from the first paragraph of the excerpt?
“For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offence, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the majesty of heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.”
Question 9 options:

a)

The author intends to speak his mind freely.

b)

The issue being debated is whether slavery should be legal.

c)
