Answer 1

We can infer the boys have more knowledge than Douglass and are willing to teach him.

Frederick Douglass was born in 1818. He was an abolitionist, a writer, and a social reformer whose autobiography "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass" greatly influenced the abolitionist movement in 1845.

Douglass' story shows how white slave owners perpetuate slavery by keeping their slaves in ignorance. At the time Douglass wrote, many people believed that slavery was a natural state of being.

Hence, the correct answer is 'they have more education than Douglass and are willing to teach him.'
