For question 7, the correct answer is indeed d. slaves could move up in society and out of slavery. Slavery in Africa differed from slavery in the Americas because in some African societies, individuals could be enslaved as a result of debt, warfare, or criminal activity, but they could also gain their freedom or move up in society through various means such as marriage, inheritance, or service. This allowed for more social mobility and the possibility of escaping slavery.

For question 13, the correct answer is c. He was the first European to set foot on American soil. While it is a common misconception that Columbus was the first person ever to reach the Americas, this is not true. Indigenous peoples had been living in the Americas for thousands of years before his arrival. Additionally, Columbus was not the only person at that time who believed the Earth was round, as this idea was already well-known among educated circles. However, Columbus's voyages did have a significant impact by initiating European exploration and colonization of the Americas.

I hope this helps clarify the answers to the questions! Let me know if there's anything else I can assist you with.
