Answer:
The correct answers are B, C and D. Phillis Wheatley embraced Christianity and Puritan ideals, was among the first African-American poets, and was taken from West Africa and sold into slavery.
Explanation:
Phillis Wheatley was the first African-American writer to publish a book in the United States. His work Poems on Various Subjects was published in 1773, two years before the War of Independence of the United States began, and is seen as one of the first examples of African-American literature.
Born in what would be Senegal, later installed in what would be Gambia, she was captured and subjected to slavery when she was seven years old. Wheatley was taken to America about 1760, where John and Susannah Wheatley of Boston, Massachusetts bought her and converted her to the Christian faith.
Wheatley's poetry revolves around Christian themes, with many poems dedicated to famous personalities. One of the few who treat slavery is "On being brought from Africa to America."
