Answer:

B. Putting an end to slavery once and for all.

Explanation:

The text that the question is based off is the memoir "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass", Chapter XI  Part I.

<em>"I would allow myself to suffer under the greatest imputations which evil-minded men might suggest, rather than exculpate myself, and thereby run the hazard of </em><u><em>closing the slightest avenue</em></u><em> by which a brother slave might clear himself of the chains and fetters of slavery."</em>

The phrase "<em>closing the slightest avenue</em>" in relation to the sentence it is on could refer more to the ending of slavery and that too, not temporary but more on the permanent scale. Considering he was talking about being a "<em>hazard [for] a brother slave</em>" clearing himself, the narrator could be referring to the idea of putting an end to slavery altogether.

Answer: There are a lot of incredible authors who wrote during different periods of human history .Those men were creative and very good observers .They described the people living in different periods of time and it was the ways of men which they took as an inspiration for their work.

John Milton

From the Neoclassical (1660-1700)period John Milton was one of the authors who used men´s interest in religion to write his famous Paradise Lost.Social needs in those years were taken more seriously than individual needs and the road to salvation was something the society was very much attentive to. A fear of the evil led people to believe in God .In Paradise Lost Milton presents Satan as a fallen angel who wants to reover his place in Heaven and will fight God so as to do so.It is not the best way to reenter Paradise but it is all he knows how to.

Elizabethan Literature(1555-1610) has its gratest author in William Shakespeare. A humanist who cared most about men´s doings and the consequences of their performaces, he wrote sonnets and plays displaying the best and the worst characteristics of the human race.Ambition, love, greed are all part of his famous tragedies which still today help to understand the human soul.

The Renaissance (1450-1555)author Nicholas. Machiavelli showed more concern with the doings of those who had power .He recognized a clear division betwwen what was public and what was private and the oppressed mass and the oppressors.In his work The Prince he described the personality of a ruler and in some very stiric way he also gave ideas on how to overthrow a ruler.

No matter which movement in literature we pay attention to, we will be able to find authors who depict men and women in such a way that if the time the story was witten is not provided,we can still know the date of the creation of the characters.

Refer to the Newsela article "Alas, Shakespeare Won't Be Taught in This Class."
STatiana [176]

Answer: to provide an example of one teacher's efforts to make Shakespeare more relatable to students.

Explanation:

The aforementioned article is based on the opinion of a high school teacher named Dana Dusbiber in Sacramento who does not believe that teaching Shakespeare in this day and age is still relevant due to the world increasingly accepting other cultures.

The author then wrote this section in the article to show the exam of Christine Baker who is also a Sacramento High School teacher who holds the belief that Shakespeare might be old-fashioned, but it shouldn't be scrapped. It should be modernized because the lessons still apply to the present period.
