A. Readers gain insight into the narrator's belief that he is possessed by a demon.

This is the best option because the passage describes how he believes he has been possessed by a demon. From this passage, we don't actually know what happens once he is possessed. Option B says that it gives a reason for the narrator's behavior, but we don't know what that behavior is to make this a correct choice. Option C is wrong because first person invites us in to the narrator's mind. It doesn't not keep us at a distance. Option D is also not correct because we don't know anything about his treatment of a cat from this passage.

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Two examples of figurative language used by Douglass on his speech are Allusion and Synecdoche.

Explanation:

When he says: <em>"What I ask for the Negro is not benevolence, not pity, not sympathy, but simply justice." , </em>he expresses it as if it was a desire of his own, when in reality the effect he wants to achieve is that people realize that it is not a desire of him, but a <em>right</em> of all black men. There is when he is using Allusion.

When he says: <em>“What shall we do with the Negro?” I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us!..."</em>, he is appealing to the racism feeling of the word "<em>Negro</em>", instead of using the term "black man", to make a bigger impact on the listeners. This is where Synecdoche is used.

Finally he manages to have power in his speech, receiving an applause after his words.
