Answer:

<u>Description </u>

Explanation:

Using context clues while reading is a technique that consists of looking at the surrounding information of an unknown word in order to infer the meaning of that word. There are many types of context clues, and the one that can be used to determine the meaning of <em>eluded</em> in the sentence is description: Geena escaped, and she eluded zookeepers for several hours until she was captured. So, by paying attention to the description of the actions, we can infer that <em>to elude</em> means to run away, to evade or to escape from someone or something that is going after you.

Answer:

B. It shows that Douglass's new awareness of how owners maintain control over slaves allows him to better understand how to improve his situation.

Explanation:

Frederick Douglass was an American African man born into slavery. He later learned to read and write, later gaining his freedom and became a huge abolitionist working for the freedom and rights of his fellow black people. His memoir "Narrative of The life of Frederick Douglass" became one of the foremost important documentation of a slave and in general, the slavery system.

The given excerpt is from when Douglass was a slave in the household of the Aulds. There, Mrs. Sophia Auld being unfamiliar with having a slave was surprisingly good to him. She even taught him how to read and learn the alphabet, Douglass wrote "<em>she very kindly commenced to teach me the A, B, C. After I had learned this, she assisted me in learning to spell words of three or four letters"</em>. But then her husband came to know about it and prevented her from continuing this education, "<em>telling her, among other things, that it was unlawful, as well as unsafe, to teach a slave to read.</em>"

This is when Douglass realized that education is what a slave needs to get equal with the white masters, admitting that his "<em>youthful understanding had struggled, but struggled in vain</em>". But Mr. Auld's prevention of his education made him more aware of the slave owners' authority over their slaves and it was this moment that he understood what he needed to improve his situation.
