• E. Bermuda Passage

Answer 1

The correct option is A Middle Passage

The Middle Passage was the stage of the triangular trade in which millions of Africans were forcibly transported to the New World (Americas and West Indies) as part of the Atlantic slave trade. Hence, Option A is correct.

Among the rest of the options, Northwest Passage is from the European and northern Atlantic point of view, the sea route to the Pacific Ocean through the Arctic Ocean, along the northern coast of North America via waterways through the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, China passage is a mystery film, Passage to India is a book by E.M. Forster, and Bermuda Passage is another book by Peter Solmes. Hence, these are incorrect.
