Answer 2

The correct answer is "Slaves were permanent possessions of their master".

Step-by-step explanation:

Indentured servants or indentured laborers were employees that exerted an unfree labor for a master bound by a signed or forced contract that is valid for a fixed period of time. On the other hand, slaves were permanent possessions of their master by a bond that most of time is valid for the whole life.
