r was icy, and he reflected immediately that it was colder than he had expected to find it off the coast of Florida. This appeared to his dazed mind as a fact important enough to be noted at the time. The coldness of the water was sad; it was tragic. This fact was somehow so mixed and confused with his opinion of his own situation that it seemed almost a proper reason for tears.

The correct option is OVERWHELMED.
To be overwhelmed means to be totally overcome in mind or feeling with a particular emotion such as sadness or remorse. In the passage given above, it is obvious that the character in the passage was already disturbed in mind by past occurrences. The fact that the weather is cold, which somehow relate to what he is going through, completely overcome his emotions to the extent that he started shedding tears.<span />

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

It contains descriptions of the brutal effects of slavery on enslaved people.

Explanation:

"Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass" is an autobiographical memoir of a slave-born Frederick Douglass who later earned his way to freedom and became an abolitionist to help his fellow African-American slaves to get their freedom.

As seen in the excerpt from the memoir, Douglass talks about how he suffered from anxiety more than other slaves in that he knows the two sides/ kinds of masters while the other slaves were accustomed to only the rude masters. Douglass had the advantage of being treated much better than a normal slave, but at the same time, it also makes him more anxious about what happens whenever he has a bad master. Other slaves were used to the beatings, the remarks and even at times killed for whatever reasons but for Douglass, he had the experience of having a good master where he even learned to read and write. The slaves accustomed to a rude and 'indifferent' master know nothing of a good master and so, had their minds set on the thinking that all slave masters are meant to be rude and unkind.

Through this passage, <u>Frederick Douglass provides descriptions of how brutal the effects of slavery were on the enslaved people</u>.
