Answer:  A To demonstrate the conflicting and often incorrect information  received by slaves.

Explanation:

This is based on the article: ''What Slaves are Taught to Think of the North'' by Harriet Jacobs.

From this article we discover that the Southern whites tried very much to discredit the North in the eyes of the enslaved by giving them false information and denying them the right to learn how to read so they could see through the deception.

Harriet Jacobs uses the example of the woman who begged her to read a newspaper to show just how bad the misinformation was because the woman actually thought that the United States had a Queen who had more authority than the President.
