The choice that identifies which action was not a form of resistance against slavery is recognized as hard work in the provision grounds. Provision grounds were plots of land designated for enslaved individuals to cultivate food for themselves and their families. While this effort allowed for some degree of autonomy and sustenance, it was not an act of rebellion or resistance against the institution of slavery itself. Instead, it can be seen as a way for enslaved people to cope with their harsh realities and ensure survival, rather than directly challenging the system that enslaved them.

In contrast, running away, open rebellion, and sabotage all represent active forms of resistance. Running away involved seeking freedom by escaping the plantation or colonial systems. Open rebellion often referred to organized uprisings against the oppressors, aiming to dismantle the system of slavery itself. Sabotage consisted of actions intended to damage or disrupt the operations of plantations, such as destroying equipment, crops, or livestock, thereby hindering the economic profit derived from slavery. These actions were motivated by the desire for freedom and a rejection of oppression.
