Solution

The correct answer is A. a heathen.

The term "heathen" traditionally refers to someone who does not belong to a widely held religion, specifically adherents of religions other than those recognized in a dominant religious society. It often implies a person who does not follow the major beliefs or practices predominant in a particular culture or society. The other options do not fit the context of religious beliefs outside the dominant society: "assimilated" refers to someone who has adopted the customs and attitudes of a prevailing culture; "abolitionist" pertains to someone who advocates for the abolition of a practice, typically slavery; and "savage" is often used in a derogatory sense to describe those perceived as uncivilized or primitive.
