It can be reasonably be inferred that mr shelby places the highest value on what character?

The correct answer would be eliza

(B) As evidenced by lines 41-42, Mr. Shelby is clear and resolute that Eliza will not be sold. Since, he agrees-albeit grudgingly-to the sale of Tom and Eliza's son, it can be inferred that he places a higher value on Eliza. The passage does not provide evidence either way for his opinion of Chloe.
